The whole point of Another Earth however, mandates sensitive protagonists linked by the weight of tragedies which happened by chance, so we'll forgive the unlikeliness of Rhoda's initial behavior to appreciate the whole of the effort. The incongruity is that the type of woman who Rhoda proves herself to be, not to mention the sort of capable person who gets into MIT in the first place, isn't the kind of character who drives drunk, especially with a bright future on the horizon. The thrust of the film relies heavily on this triggering incident, and as with other plot points in Another Earth, we have to disregard some inherent incongruity to appreciate the story. When 17 year old Rhoda Williams (Brit Marling) gets her acceptance letter to MIT, she does the logical thing gets wasted and goes for a drive. Striking, a little dream-like, a tiny bit macabre, Another Earth is a different kind of science fiction movie. PLOT: A young woman becomes the lover of a man whose family she killed, while trying to determine if she committed the same crime in a parallel life.ĬOMMENTS: The ideas of parallel existences and multiple universes bolster Another Earth's introspective study of the concepts of choice, chance, what if's, and what-might-have-beens in this grim, despondent fantasy. TAGS: multiverse, parallel planes, alternate realities FEATURING: William Mapother, Brit Marling, Matthew-Lee Erlbach, DJ Flava, Meggan Lennon, AJ Diana,
