Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Artificial’: First Reactions

The biopic about OpenAI's Sam Altman, starring Andrew Garfield, Yura Borisov and Monica Barbaro, hits theaters on Dec. 25.

First audiences at the New York Film Festival lauded Luca Guadagnino's Sam Altman biopic "Artificial" as a pitch-perfect dark comedy. Andrew Garfield's performance walked the line between movie monster, buffoonish mogul, and evil genius. Critics praised the film as an essential cinematic experience that embodies the paradox at its center, revealing the artificiality not in the machines, but in the boardroom.
