Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe house featured in the movie was re-created to resemble a real house located just outside Westport, Ontario, Canada. Originally, the plan was to film at the actual location near Westport; however, due to actor scheduling constraints, it would have required shooting during the Canadian winter, which was not suitable for the film's storyline. Consequently, the production team opted to construct an exact replica of the Westport house in Australia.
- Quotes
Terrance: We've been working on the next phase of transition for a long time. There's always been several possibilities of human existence in space. The moon, Mars. But with our lands an seas transforming as they are, we decided to built our own space station, our own planet.
Junior: Yeah, what... what's that got to do with us?
Terrance: Right, so I'm here because of the installation. Eh, the first wave of temporary resettlement.
Junior: Oh, yeah, yeah, no, I think I heard about this shit once.
Terrance: You did?
Hen: Looks pretty ridiculous. I mean, why would you spend money up there when you should be fixing thing here?

I'm not all that surprised that this film isn't rated higher; it had the feel of a film that people would really like or really dislike. Thankfully for me I really enjoyed it. The premise is fairly simple and the twists weren't too surprising but it kept me gripped from start to finish. It is very much a character led film and thanks to superb acting from Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal as Hen and Junior I believed in their relationship with its various ups and downs. Aaron Pierre also impresses as Terrance, the character that serves as the catalyst for most of what happens. The setting adds to the atmosphere; even though we see our leads working with other people their home feels incredibly isolated. Overall I'd say this certainly won't be for everybody but if you enjoy character led science fiction it is definitely worth giving a go.
