Margaux is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. What makes Margaux work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. As a group of seniors celebrate their final college days at a smart house, the house's highly advanced AI system, Margaux, begins to take on a deadly presence of her own. A carefree weekend of partying turns into a dystopian nightmare as they realize Margaux's plans to eliminate her tenants one way or another. Time begins to run out as the group desperately tries to survive and outsmart the smart home. The human element stays intact thanks to Jedidiah Goodacre and Madison Pettis, who anchor every scene. Margaux came out in 2022. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find Margaux genuinely rewarding. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Jedidiah Goodacre grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
