A Masterpiece!

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Dealing with Artificial Intelligence is rather common. I watched "Orphan", it deals with a girl with a genetic disorder. In "Morgan", it deals with a girl who is artificially made. During the conversation with a doctor(Jennifer Jason Leigh), she would stab her in the eye. Morgan(Anya Taylor-Joy) appears to be a teenager girl, but she's actually 5 years old. She very intelligent. Her only dark side that she is unpredictable. Cold, aloof, and violent she responded by attacking anyone. Lee Weathers(Kate Mera) travels to the institute to examine Morgan. She does not perceive Morgan as a girl, only as an "it".
Since Morgan was more successful than the others made, and she's just like Morgan, COLD!
This movie could have been better made. Some parts were just too common. Needed more action. Too much killing. The script is weak. Needs more impact. Too obvious.
2 out of 5 stars

Teenager Morgan lives in a secure facility and is under review for injuries she has inflicted.The story here has two elements - one is the mystery of Morgan's origin, and the other is what will happen to her at the hands of the operative sent to sanction her. Both plot lines are involving.Anya Taylor-Joy continues to impress - she commands the screen well and has a pleasing air of cold implacability while still conveying a sympathetic sense of vulnerability.And Kate Mara is a strong, if less sympathetic, presence too.This film worked well for me, and contained some interesting questions about the nature of self and humanity.

I like sci-fi for its ability to get us to thinking as we are being entertained. This movie does that pretty well. The premise of a new life form is always a good story to tell and if you add mystery, intrigue and drama you get this movie. My only criticism is that it was too short and under-developed but nothing a sequel couldn't cure if handled properly. There are twists along the way which keep you glued to the screen and one wonders about the full premises of this story if it was truly unleashed. the movie goes there too! Here's to....

Morgan doesn't offer much of anything new and from the plot synopsis, reminded much of Ex-Machina (which is a much better film). Morgan has a typical and predictable story line plot and overall not too much suspense or thrills. We understand within the film right from the beginning that "Morgan" would cause havoc and start causing problems potentially killing others. A clever but obvious twist from the ending was helped to save the film but it did not do much. Overall, Morgan is quite decent but could have been much better, as it is somewhat of a mess. The performance of Morgan played by Anya Taylor-Joy was good, though some issues regarding Kate Mara's performance (though some claim it was intended). We are not surprised as to why this film flopped and may be forgotten years from now.
