A.I. - any good or not?

Let us revisit: https://www.villagevoice.com/2001/06/26/the-mommy-returns/

"Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence is less a movie than a seething psychological bonanza."

hell yeah it is.

Femme Fatale was good too, as Eric seems to be pointing out. It’s currently not available to stream on any service according to JustWatch.

Is there any movie that lays bare the dark heart of the fairytale better than the one this thread is about, intentionally or otherwise, although I charitably assume Spielberg did intend it, all of which somebody probably said way better than me a few posts up.

intention doesn't seem to matter if you're gonna be this psychologically exhibitionist whilst retaining artistic control. it's quite a feat. might be a good double feature with Fabelmans. it also feels spiritually akin to vertigo for me.
