Movies like Wifelike

“Wifelike (2022) is a 2020s United States near-future science-fiction thriller that positions a procedural detective story inside corporateized AI economies. It stages a core conflict between a grieving investigator pursuing artificial-human traffickers and a companion whose memory-reprogramming destabilizes legal and emotional categories, rendered through chiaroscuro-lit interiors and neon-drenched exteriors. The film argues that interrogating synthetic memory and commodified personhood clarifies contemporary anxieties about agency, making its speculative premise culturally and psychologically necessary.”
