… an adult drama with science-fiction trimmings, a mature consideration of grief and potential solace...Marling and McCahill deserve some credit for coming up with an original notion and taking it seriously enough to fill a feature…

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 10, 2024

The film spoils a compelling idea by treating the subject like a hypothetical, instead of a device that brings the protagonist’s world crashing down.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 6, 2023

Another Earth is multifaceted and deeply layered, its nuanced performances and examination of alternate possibilities providing viewers with a unique viewing experience.

Another Earth is a magnificently visionary film.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 2, 2020

Takes and intriguing premise and strong cast and does little with them.

| Original Score: C | Jul 11, 2020

Here we have a quiet and sometimes surprising drama, which is something you can rarely say about a modern sf movie...

| Mar 6, 2020

All believably rendered with great economy.

There are small particles you might see and recognize (even one or two that might stick to you), but as a whole, Another Earth is nothing memorable, special, or interesting.

| Original Score: D | Feb 13, 2020

[I]ts two appealing stars, especially the intelligent, ethereal [Brit] Marling, hold the film together even as some of its more preposterous moments make Scientology look grounded.

[The ending] a letdown initially, but it grows on me. Still, my curiosity nature would have liked to learn more about Earth 2.

| Jan 28, 2019

Transcending the spectacle associated with the genre in search of something more metaphysical, whilst commendably remaining firmly based in the roots of human behavior.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 6, 2018

Another Earth is a hauntingly beautiful exploration into grief, guilt and human nature. A stunning melancholic trance of a film which will leave viewers transfixed long after its gripping end.

| Dec 1, 2018

Another Earth is a beautiful, haunting film that manages to make its two main characters feel like real people, and makes the fate of these two lost souls seem as vital as what happens to this duplicate Earth.

Another Earth is quite a gem in a lot of ways, but wrapped in an enigma. It's a very sophisticated approach to a familiar theme.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 8, 2017

I loved this movie. Having said that, I'm sure it's not for everyone.

| Nov 16, 2015

Buried within Another Earth's framework is a wonderful sci-fi movie, but Cahill and Marling have unfortunately set it amongst this otherwise drab and predictable human drama.

| Sep 8, 2013

I didn't hate Another Earth so much as I found it to have begun with a fascinating sci fi premise only to produce, ultimately, a conventional relationship film.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 4, 2012

Another Earth occasionally slips into chin-stroking pretention, but it flies the flags for indies with ideas bigger than their budgets.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 28, 2012

Another Earth doesn't fully come off - the slow pace stops it achieving escape velocity - but the intriguing ideas and Marling's touching performance make it a promising debut.

| Apr 2, 2012

A movie about our unending desire for second chances, no matter how rarely they happen.

| Original Score: B | Feb 2, 2012
