Brian and Charles

Movie • 2022  

Report
An 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.

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.
