Key opinion
Wifelike is widely regarded as a lackluster science fiction thriller that fails to capitalize on its high-concept premise. While the film attempts to explore themes of grief and artificial intelligence, viewers generally find the execution uninspired, disjointed, and ultimately forgettable.
| Originality | The film suffers from a derivative, uninspired narrative that squanders its science fiction potential. | |
| Acting | Elena Kampouris delivers a standout performance that convincingly captures the cold, evolving nature of an android. | |
| Acting | The chemistry between the lead performers is notably absent, undermining the film's central relationships. | |
| Pacing | The film transitions from a compelling initial premise into an unremarkable and meandering crime procedural. |
