25th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's monumental production of Stanley Kubrick's unrealized science fiction dream project; a bold, humanistic vision that pays tribute to Kubrick’s aesthetic while also remaining a quintessential Spielberg film.
This high-tech Pinocchio story—about a robot child (Haley Joel Osment) on a quest to become a real boy after being abandoned by his adopted parents—is one of Spielberg’s most challenging and visually astonishing films, featuring one unforgettable sight after another, and an ending that will forever lodge in your memory drive.
“Deeply thoughtful and thoroughly fascinating.” Todd McCarthy, Variety
“One of the most poetic and haunting allegories about the cinema that I can think of… It’s also the most philosophical film in Kubrick’s canon, the most intelligent in Spielberg’s.” Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
