Sundance hit ANOTHER EARTH is all about asking: what if? For Rhoda (Marling) it's a question she has kept asking herself ever since one tragic night when her path crossed with that of a renowned composer (Mapother, Lost).
On that same night another fateful event was quite literally written in the stars, as Earth was rocked by the apparent discovery of a duplicate planet. First-time director Mike Cahill tells this engaging existential love story with refreshing conviction, but it's newcomer Marling who really shines.
With traces of sci-fi set to attract a wider audience into its orbit, expect ANOTHER EARTH to finish well placed on critics' and audiences' 'Films of the Year' lists.
