What would you do if one day, scientists found another planet exactly like ours?
That's the background idea to this relatively lo fi drama starring Lost's William Mapother and Brit Marling.
On the day news of the planet is announced, Rhoda (Marling) is out driving; distracted and scanning the skies she smashes into the car of Mapother's John Burroughs with his family within, killing his wife and child.
Sentenced to jail as a minor Rhoda gets out four years later haunted by her crime. Thinking it may be best to make amends with Burroughs she heads to his house but bottles it, ending up masquerading as a cleaner to the depressed college professor.
Will she find the courage to give them both the peace they need?
Another Earth is a compelling kitchen sink indie drama with a splash of scifi thrown in for good measure. Both starling and mapother give it a gritty human feel and allow the slow burning flick to develop into something you're emotionally invested in.
Coupled with the parallel world story, this piece is more about redemption and finding peace on our world than exploring the other one.
An assured directorial debut, this film may just surprise you.
Extras: deleted scenes, trailer, music vids, docks looking at the making of and the science of Another Earth
