    I am an AI Researcher so it's interesting to write about something that combines my passion for movies with my daily work. The movie does a great job interviewing very prominent AI figures, ranging from the most pessimistic doomist to the unreasonable naive optimistic ones, in an engaging and clear way to the general public. Their discourse in the movie is very compatible with what they say in academic conferences, so no sneaky editing there, and the movie should be very informative on what some of the people that know the technical details of how AI is trained are thinking. Perhaps a bit overly dramatic - the director cries over anxiety about AI (?) - still the movie is a great way to learn a bit about the history of the economic uptick of AI and the current societal impact it's having. From an insider's point of view, I definely recomend watching it if you are interested about AI

Listen to Me Marlon

With exclusive access to his extraordinary unseen and unheard personal archive including hundreds of hours of audio recorded over the course of his life, this is the definitive Marlon Brando cinema documentary. Charting his exceptional career as an actor and his extraordinary life away from the stage and screen with Brando himself as your guide, the film will fully explore the complexities of the man by telling the story uniquely from Marlon's perspective, entirely in his own voice. No talking heads, no interviewees, just Brando on Brando and life.
