It was well shot and nicely done, but I was admittedly disappointed that the whole idea of "Another Earth" was barely used in the film. 12 years 3 months ago

A good movie, made by a couple of young, very talented filmmakers handling with oven mitts material that they'll hopefully one day learn to handle with surgical tools. 12 years 2 months ago

Another Earth reminds me of Primer, another indie sci-fi film that shows the genre can work without big or even medium budget effects (though the similarities end there). In the film, a mysterious second Earth appears in the sky, a perfect mirror of ours where you and I may well exist. But this is only background and subtext for the story, which is about a young girl who causes a lethal car accident, and after her jail sentence, engaging with the sole survivor of the family she killed. Primer was a hard sf puzzle film. Another Earth is a subtle, sensitive and existential drama with a "soft" Twilight Zone-like premise that acts as a metaphor for the central character's psychological journey. It has an ambiguous "puzzle" ending though. The film may prove too slow and quiet for part of the SF audience, but I believe Another Earth's subtleties and ambiguities make it a more rewarding film to watch again than most blockbuster FX movies. 8 years 10 months ago
