Synopsis

Rhoda Williams, a bright young woman recently accepted into MIT's astrophysics program, aspires to explore the cosmos. John Burroughs, a brilliant composer, has just reached the pinnacle of his profession, and is about to have a second child with his loving wife. On the eve of the discovery of a duplicate Earth, tragedy strikes, and the lives of these strangers become irrevocably intertwined. Estranged from the world and the selves they once knew, the two outsiders begin an unlikely love affair, which reawakens them to life. But when one of them is presented with the opportunity to travel to the other Earth and embrace an alternative reality, which new life will they choose?

In this auspicious debut, director/cowriter Mike Cahill offers a taut, superbly conceived science-fiction romance that marks the emergence of the multitalented actor/cowriter Brit Marling. Marrying character with high concept, Another Earth lures audiences to go where no one has gone before. (From sundance.org)

The movie has a very human story and combines it with one of the most interesting premises. Guilt and pain can often be a depressing subject. Pacing is always a dangerous point. That happens sometimes in this movie. Mike Cahill, who directs and writes the script with Brit Marling, lets some parts of this movie run wild. It's an understandable part of this indie genre. The dual Earth creates not only a special image, but also a ghost that haunts this film. It keeps the audience interested because it allows Rhoda's story to unfold slowly. It's a nice little trick and raises some interesting questions.
