She tracks down the man who survived the crash she caused and has every intention of apologizing. She is a broken spirit whose bright future has been dashed. Flash forward four years as Rhoda is released from prison. At the same time, scientists discover "another Earth" has been hiding on the other side of the sun. Her very poor decision to drive home after drinking results in a horrific accident that changes her life and that of a young family. and that she is quite the space and astronomy lover. The story begins with Rhoda (Brit Marling) out for a night of partying. Explaining what it is, well, that's a challenge. This is not a fluffy Owen Wilson rom-com. Their film was designed to take you deep. After sitting through a Q&A with Mike Cahill (co-writer, director) and Brit Marling (co-writer, star) I am guessing they are taking great pride in the love/hate responses.

The reviews and comments have been discordant and contentious. An award winning film at Sundance, this one seems to carry the same polarizing effect that "Tree of Life" does.
