Video Review – M3GAN is a campy mess…and we love it!

January 13, 2023 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno with a video review of M3GAN…

In one of the best “first movies of the year” in recent memory, you’ll see why the doll on everyone’s lips will be M3GAN. A hilariously campy mess, and that’s all we needed.

Check out the review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…

M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out’s Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to.

When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.

M3GAN features a cast that includes Get Out’s Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ronny Chieng, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Jen Van Epps, Lori Dungey, and Stephane Garneau-Monten.

M3GAN is out now in the U.S. and the UK.
