A young girl bound for MIT causes a felony drunk driving fatality. This story has been told many times, a horrible tragedy with one life consumed by grief and the other by guilt. The first thing you should realize is this is a drama, not a sci-fi movie. The 'other earth' provides a cool backdrop but really doesn't become a factor until the end of the film. What you do get is top shelf presentation by all parties and a very moving portrayal of penance. This is one that will benefit from quiet and thoughtful viewing. If you are looking for something that's moving without costing you a fortune in tissue this would be a great choice. A very slick twist on a time worn theme. Recommended.
