Brian and Charles
Movie • 2022
ReportAn endearing outlier, Brian lives alone in a Welsh valley, inventing oddball contraptions that seldom work. After finding a discarded mannequin head, Brian gets an idea. Three days, a washing machine, and sundry spare parts later, he’s invented Charles, an artificially intelligent robot who learns English from a dictionary and proves a charming, cheeky companion. Before long, however, Charles also develops autonomy. Intrigued by the wider world — or whatever lies beyond the cottage where Brian has hidden him away — Charles craves adventure.

Hard to say. An AI with the mannerisms of a teenager and the body of a grown man is abused.

The AI is towards the end of the film. He's kept prisoner, forced to do manual labor, and teenagers are shown whipping him with sticks.

Although not specifically stated a few characters may be slightly autistic, and they are belittled and teased by a terrible and rude man who lives in the same town.

Slightly - handheld documentary style, so the camera moves some, more in some scenes (for example when in a car) it isn't excessive, but it is not completely still.
