What to Know

Critics Consensus

Biosphere's rambling, unfinished feel doesn't always serve its thoughtful themes, but it's often offset by the engaging interplay between the movie's well-matched leads.

Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times Mark is a particularly competent actor who succeeds in granting credibility to the distinct characters he interprets, as in Biosphere... despite its apparent simplicity, he confronts one of the most difficult roles of his career. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 5, 2023 Full Review David Stratton The Australian Though it’s stuffed full of interesting ideas Biosphere doesn’t really come together in a satisfying way, despite the engaging lead performances. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Kimber Myers Crooked Marquee Eslyn and Duplass have made a movie that uses its limited setting and minimal number of characters well, surprising the audience with what they do with so little. Rated: B Jul 8, 2023 Full Review Jason Blake Limelight There’s a touch of the old Twilight Zone to this unusual entry into the canon of apocalypse survival movies. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 8, 2023 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A sci-fi buddy film that proves life finds a way. Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Funny, horrific, and filled with jaw-dropping, “WTF!?” moments, this boundary-pushing film is guaranteed to get you talking — a lot.

The Careful Critic No matter how much time you have to waste, don't see this movie. It is the worst movie ever. There is something in it to offend everyone and nothing to redeem it. Terrible plot, awful script, low end set design, photography, and lighting. Maybe there could have been acting, but the two actors were given nothing to work with. This movie is worse than garbage. It's not even worth a review, I just want to save somebody else from throwing away their time and leaving the theater with not one good thing to remember. Trash/garbage/ick. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/23 Full Review Banjo K One of the best films I've seen in recent times, criminally underrated! I hope these creators make more stuff soon. Great writing, surprising & rich performances. Truly compelling execution, manages to stay light & entertaining while tackling some boggling concepts. Also amazing what it manages with such low budget... reminded me of all the best things about reading a quality short story, or watching the kind of theatre production which reminds you of how good theatre can be. Seems divisive (just look at the extreme reviews here) but highly recommend trying it out. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review IrateTyrant C Team-up of Duplass and Sterling K. Brown ignites conversations This movie was pretty well done and definitely did a good job of taking a subject matter that would be seen as sensitive to many people and making it tangible yet watchable (barely). The realism of the end-of-the-world scenario is done pretty well, and the two leads are very enjoyable. Both Mark Duplass and Sterling K. Brown shine, individually, and can lean on each other's performances well. The foreshadowing is done intriguingly in some parts yet leaves the viewer off with many questions in other parts. While the wrap-up is conclusive, the journey to get to it is definitely a bumpy ride. The movie is brave for tackling the subject matter of men becoming unwilling transgenders and deserves some credit. However, by leaving the ending completely open for interpretation, it sort of deliberately misses its mark. Mark Duplass has masterminded many projects in his career, and this is a good example of how interesting his projects can be. Sterling K. Brown, on the other hand, has filled roles with inspiring acting which balances fun levity, serious gravity, and sharp brevity that makes his characters always eye-catching. Overall, this was a good movie, but clearly not for everyone to enjoy the same way. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Scott W I have never reviewed a movie before, and promise myself today I will never write one again, for fear it may dilute this moment...my entire life I thought no art could be bad, because art by its nature of subjective and about personal connection with the work. This movie forced me to re-evaluate that. I guess if art crawls up its own ass far enough, it can achieve the impossible and lose every bit of value it once had from potential alone. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Ray S We watched about 30 minutes of the movie and then just fast forwarded randomly to see if the movie played out the way we expected and whether it got any better. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Robert R I love ALL movies, and this one was just horrible. Contrary to other reviews, it was 100% predictable. There was no plot, which can be fine. The character development was shallow and didn't evolve. Completely pointless movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
