      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Another Earth is often weighed down by placid pacing and ponderousness, but this soulful sci-fi nevertheless offers plenty of profound concepts to ponder.

      Alain M I feel like the premise was damn interesting, but the movie went off the rails trying to bring in some drama / repent storyline between a victim and his perpetrator. It felt completely unnecessary against the background of having a mirror planet hovering over your planet. Missed chance in my opinion Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Joshua Y The most typical, cliche pacing of an independent movie. The Nickelback of the independent movie style in every way. A lot of walking around and thinking shots. I mean a ton. Story is...yeah fine. I mean she hit the world's happiest and most pregnant family out there. Basically they were trying to hard on a very long movie that could have practically been a short film. The actual interesting story, the other earth, gives you no answers at the end and we have about 30 seconds of her and her 'other' looking at each other. Zero answers 'cause that would be hard to write I guess. Would not recommend. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/02/23 Full Review Wolfgang G Another Earth ist ein Science-Fiction-Film-Drama von Mike Cahill… Während einer Autofahrt wird die junge Highschool-Absolventin, Rhoda Williams, durch den Anblick der zweiten Erde so überrascht, dass sie einen verhängnisvollen Unfall mit Todesfolge verursacht… Ein gut gespieltes Drama um Schuld und Erlösung mit philosophischer Tiefe… Kurz gesagt eine gut durchdachte Geschichte, die mir etwas langatmig erscheint… Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/23 Full Review jenni b Mind blown! Everything Brit touches turns to gold! Really loved the concept and story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member There's a little bit of a bait-and-switch with the Sci-Fi title and promotional materials here, but it gets a pass because it's an indie with an alleged $100k budget. It's an ambitious movie that would've benefited from expanding a little, but it's also understandable that the plot's focus would remain on Rhoda (Brit Marling) and John (William Mapother), the former who sent the latter into a 4-year coma (and killed his wife and children) during a drunk driving accident. The concept of "Another Earth," which can be seen by the naked eye from "Earth One" ignores the geological and metaphysical effects of the two planets being so close to each other. Moreover, it was boring that the beings occupying "Earth Two" are exact replicas of "Earth One"? I suppose, this permits the feel-good ending, but probably not what most viewers are coming to see during an indie Sci-Fi. The best moments of the film come from the shots of Rhoda walking along the Connecticut coast with "Earth Two" as a beautiful big marble in the background. Rhoda's… relationship with John is extremely fucked up and I'm not sure if that was the intent of the director (Mark Cahill) here. I was shocked with this script and think it went a step too far. It's an RT (66/66) right now, and I'm right there with them. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member The way the story was presented I found a little hard to follow. It wasn't cohesive. And I like endings that actually end the story. I had to google to try to figure out what Rhoda seeing her other self had to do with anything. That part still makes no sense to me. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Another Earth is quite a gem in a lot of ways, but wrapped in an enigma. It's a very sophisticated approach to a familiar theme. Rated: B- Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Dec 9, 2011 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard At its best, it is original and affecting, and one of the best American independent efforts at this year. Rated: 3/5 Dec 9, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The film spoils a compelling idea by treating the subject like a hypothetical, instead of a device that brings the protagonist’s world crashing down. Rated: 2/4 Mar 6, 2023 Full Review Stephanie Archer Film Inquiry Another Earth is multifaceted and deeply layered, its nuanced performances and examination of alternate possibilities providing viewers with a unique viewing experience. Feb 20, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Another Earth is a magnificently visionary film. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
