Mother/Android star Chloë Grace Moretz has opened up about the film's shocking ending which has left viewers in tears.

The film stars Moretz and Euphoria's Algee Smith as a couple expecting their first child, after thousands of evil robots turn against their human owners.

As mum and baby are separated forever, she writes a heartbreaking goodbye letter explaining her choices to her son. In the next scene Georgia is seen alone in Boston, after Sam presumably dies from his injuries, as she burns pictures of them together, symbolising her leaving the past behind.

Now the Kick Ass actress has explained that the ending was inspired by the real life experiences of director Mattson Tomlin.

Speaking with Consequence, she said: "When I first read it [the script] I was sobbing, quite frankly. Rarely are you so moved by a script and you can so fully see exactly what the writer is depicting to you.

"With this story written by Mattson Tomlin, who wanted an in on his own personal story and choosing a robot artificial intelligence revolution — all of those layers going into it make it something singular. I don’t think we’ve ever seen it before."

Chloë explains that the film, particularly the sad ending, were inspired by Mattson was given up for adoption by his parents during the Romanian revolution before being adopted by an American family in Massachusetts.
