Who plays Julia in 'Tau' on Netflix?
Netflix adds another shiny B-movie to its roster with “Tau,” a wannabe-thriller about artificial intelligence with little wit of its own. Maika Monroe plays Julia, a grifter captured at the beginning of the movie, and made prisoner to someone for some reason. It’s a bold start to the movie, feeling like the wordless, anxious climax of a ...

TAU and Julia

It shows how A.I., like a child, has to learn to be good and ev...
