A molecular biologist's study of the human eye has far-reaching implications about humanity's scientific and spiritual beliefs.
What critics thought
Mike Cahill's follow-up to Another Earth lands in genuinely mixed territory: critics who responded to its ambition found a film willing to pit hard science against spiritual mystery across a sweeping tonal shift, while skeptics felt the drama never quite holds together under the weight of its ideas. The move from love story to thriller to quasi-metaphysical inquiry struck some as bold and others as simply uneven.
“The movie starts as a love story and then morphs into a thriller, propelled always by the push and pull of faith and logic, with tragedy shifting world views over time”
