There very good and very bad things in this movie.

Good things: 1. Nimani's actress who really really shines out, it was an amazing performance. She nailed it playing a robot that must be human , doesn't understand it, but then it does and develops feelings making her the human she didn't want it to be. I really really loved her character. So good!! 2. The core story. This plot is so so interesting, I really take my hat off in honor of the script. But, it the completion of the film wasn't perfect because of...

The bad things: 1. Milutin's acting. The character that was supposed to be human, behaved as a robot for most of the movie. Not to mention the program's director, who at first I thought was a robot, but no. I like his voice, but why have to talk so slow? 2. Speed. The movie is set in a closed environment (the spaceship with occasional spacewalk), so the movie cannot rely on action, but on dialogue and character development. The issue is that some scenes are empty and take too long. Dialogue scenes are too few. I do agree with some mute scenes, staring, and else, but why make it soooooo long? Is wasted time to develop relationship through other actions and dialogue. 3. Too much sex scenes and nudes that doesn't apport to the story. I realise some of them are needed, but the same, why too long and too many?

In conclusion, I like this movie more for what it wants to be, than for what it is. Would be nice a remake of this movie, with another pace, a bit faster, with no empty scenes or wasted time, but if and only if the actress repeats role. She was outstanding. Some drama-intrigue director please pick up this movie.
