Wifelike
They're too human to be perfect. She's too perfect to be human.
Synopsis
Wifelike (2022) is a sci-fi thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by James Bird and starring Elena Kampouris and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. The story unfolds in a near-future world where artificial humans are bought and sold like appliances.
Detective William is still grieving his late wife when he's assigned a companion android named Meredith. By day he hunts the black-market traffickers trading these artificial beings illegally. By night, Meredith starts acting like someone she was never programmed to be — repeating phrases only William's wife knew, surfacing memories that don't belong to her. Underground operatives have sabotaged her code. She doesn't know it yet.
The film presses hard on what separates real feeling from perfect simulation, and whether grief can be exploited by the right algorithm. Watch Wifelike (2022) online on iFILM.
