Alex Garland has some writing chops.

Overview

The last time I saw something from Alex Garland – his screenplay adaptation of Ishiguro's sci-fi romance Never Let Me Go – I ended up outright sobbing in my airplane seat during a long-haul flight (sorry concerned-looking person sitting on seat F9). Garland's also the one behind the novel and screenplay for The Beach, and the screenplays for 28 Days Later and Sunshine. 

And now he's back writing and directing an AI sci-fi drama exploring the emotional capacity of robots and humans. Robbie Collin from The Telegraph called it "anything but artificial”, and given our quite emotional experiences of his past work, we're definitely buying it.
