About This Movie

I, Philip is a unique dive into the intersection of technology and literature. Set against the backdrop of mid-2000s robotics advancements, it follows David Hanson’s creation of Phil, an android meant to embody Philip K. Dick. The film’s atmosphere is both haunting and reflective, with a curious pacing that mirrors the philosophical themes of identity and existence. It’s fascinating to see how the virtual reality aspect is woven into the narrative, almost as if the audience is stepping into Dick's mind.

There’s this lingering question about what it means to be human that makes it thought-provoking.
