A tiny indie with a big brain, The Artifice Girl barely got noticed outside the festival circuit. With no stars, no explosions, and a title that sounds like a low-rent cyberpunk B-movie, it slipped past most audiences.

It’s an emotional, eerie, and empathetic take on artificial intelligence that’ll stick in your head longer than any blockbuster bot battle.
