You're the second person who has rec'd this film to me. The first was Breaking Bad coworker (who got me to watch Breaking Bad) and is a frustrated screenwriter and Yoko Ono fan.

So I may have to check out Ex Machina at some point. Thanks.

ETA: Oh by Alex Garland...he's an interesting writer and filmmaker. I watched Annihilation which is a fascinating sci-fi horror film. Creepy, plays with your head, and beautiful all at the same time.
