Another Earth: I loved this film. It's basically a character drama exploring themes of loss, guilt, and atonement, but the presence of a second, identical earth on the horizon, with all its quantum implications, gives the film a brooding, crepuscular feel, an ambiguous atmosphere that hovers between menace and possibility. Its a brilliant debut, intimate and powerful, and possessed of the sort of integrity that can characterize indie productions when they are conceived and developed from the ground up by ensembles as intelligent as this.
