I can't even being to tell you how offended and disturbed I was by the treatment of women of color in this movie. I slept restlessly the night after I saw Ex Machina, woke up muddled at 2:45 AM and - still clinging to the hope that there must have been a reason for treating women of color this way (Garland's brilliant right?) - furiously went to work reading interviews and critiques. Aside from a few brief mentions of race/gender, I found barely anything addressing the film's obvious deployment of racialized gender stereotypes for its own benefit.
If everyone else is not seeing a race problem, but you are, the problem may be you, not the material.
