Trivia
Memorabilia on the bulletin board in Russ' repair shop reveals that the story takes place after a six-decades-long war between the US and China.

Goofs
The camera that Yang uses to take the family portrait is a Pentax K1000, a common SLR film camera. The film shows Yang setting a self-timer (you can hear it buzzing) but the Pentax K1000 has no self-timer function.

Quotes
Yang: The ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said: What the caterpillar calls "the end" the rest of the world calls a butterfly.

not connecting with this

Jake (Colin Farrell), his wife Kyra, and their adopted Chinese daughter Mika are a happy family with android Yang. Yang breaks down and Mika becomes depressed.

It's slow and I'm not connecting with Yang. Maybe if the movie opens with a better scene of Yang being a caretaker with Mika. He isn't much more than a robot. I don't feel it. He needs to be a breathing feeling human being. His reveal should be shocking. He can't be a robot while being a robot. This film is all played understated and I'm not connecting with this.
