Critics Sentiment
Julian revealed as fraud who raised human children as androids
Henry kisses Sophie during massage then stops
The film jumps from its lowest point during Sophie and Henry's kiss to its highest peak when Julian's deception is revealed
Life Like builds slowly with mixed reception due to unlikable characters, particularly Sophie, but Steven Strait's performance as Henry consistently impresses reviewers. The film reaches its peak with the shocking revelation that Julian is a fraud and Henry is actually human, though some find the final resolution less impactful than the twist itself.
