Another Earth

Another Earth has such a unique and interesting story, which does not happen to often these days with so many remakes and unoriginal films being made. The film deals with many human emotions, revenge, lust, gluttony, but also has just enough sci-fi to keep you guessing throughout the film. Both of the story lines blend together perfectly, and the conclusion will you leave you speechless. Another Earth is a one of a kind.

You should see this movie, now.

a strong first effort by the two young filmmakers, but the humorless, mopey beginning makes it hard to feel for the main character for quite some time. Once the two leads start developing there relationship together, the film starts to take off.

A nice drama. Not much talking goes on, which to me is a plus if, and only if, the characters are expressive and the photography is done right. I liked this movie, thus, needless to say that my criteria were met. Brit Marling is so sweet.

Chameleon face on lead role, she was great. Story itself oscillated between too heavy and too light. Love how the sci-fi is backgrounded to the same extent that family is backgrounded -- here are the things that the lead cannot relate to, family, earth, here is the thing which might solve that, the other guy and playing as his family, another earth. Reminded me of Melancholia, symbolic use of sci fi elements to describe inner mental/emotional being.

Fantastic movie. Beautifully written and suspenseful drama. Being Sci-Fi, the film brings up many questions that aren't typically asked, but deserve answering.

Some interesting ideas and beautiful framing. However a lot of the time it feels too much like it's trying too hard to Be Art, which grates. Also it would have been nice to not see the young woman older professor cliche fantasy play out; although the themes of guilt and repentance give it some justification.

2014

Absolutely beautiful and truly engaging.
