Klara and the Sun Movie Review | Sweet but Shallow? #Shorts

Can kindness make up for shallow storytelling?

In my Klara and the Sun (2026) movie review, I explore why Taika Waititi's adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's beloved novel has plenty of heart but struggles to explore its deeper themes.

Starring Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams, this science fiction drama tackles grief, spirituality, artificial intelligence, and what makes us human.

While the film oversimplifies some fascinating ideas, Jenna Ortega brings an innocence and warmth to Klara that makes the experience enjoyable.

Kindness doesn't excuse shallow storytelling. But sometimes it makes shallow storytelling more enjoyable.

I didn't necessarily embrace Klara and the Sun, but I gave it a hug. Isn't that enough?
