Klara and the Sun
The critic
(1.5 out of 5)★½☆☆☆
Taika Waititi's Klara and the Sun adapts Ishiguro's novel into a film most British critics call a mistake: one star each from The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph and Little White Lies. Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams get the praise; the jokes, the whimsy and the thin ideas do not.
One outlier gives it three stars. A film for completists, at one and a half.
