Another Earth (2011)
4/10
This film ends at the moment it should start

Yes, I do not need - and want - more of those stories shown in cinema; stories that more and more people already know in so many different ways.

Rhoda is played more than well, and that's the reason why I was watching the whole movie, enjoying her grace, her voice, her silent happy shiners - a little more as the word "sometimes" puts it. The three stars I gave are two for Brit Marling and one for the camera (e.g. when she comes visiting the piano-playing Burroughs).

Her turning away from herself at the very end shows why this movie is as it is. Then she turns again to herself, but: - - end.

To make it clear: this is not any kind of rating the movie quality. I see, that many people were rating it high and I can see that they are right. And I do not confirm most of the negative assessments. No, my point is another one - I feel thirsty for real encounters, alternatively stories, with / about people who already are on this "other" earth, who live a full life with themselves.

A glimpse of it was seen in the hospital. And that the camera was very close in this scene shows me that the people who made this film already feel or sense about the things which to find there.

Left thirsty and got a little (but beautiful) drop... and now, as I'm writing, giving the fourth star - for making me aware of it. It is still much more better than the most garbage I see every week in the media.
