As a humanoid robot tailored to be the perfect romantic partner, Dan Stevens stars opposite Maren Eggert in Maria Schrader s dramatic comedy.
Not long into
I m Your Man, Dan Stevens character, a genial android named Tom, arranges a perfectly contrived combination of romantic clichés for his would-be partner, Alma. The rose petals are artfully strewn, the candles flicker, and flutes of bubbly are ready for sipping beside the bubble-filled tub. Ninety-three percent of German women dream of this, he assures her as she exits the room, profoundly unimpressed. Tom is programmed to satisfy Alma, a German human, but he s still in beta, and his learning curve is one of the oddball delights of this farcical and poignant comedy about love.
