Another Earth 2010

Another Earth (2010)     This film challenges our concepts of reality and redemption with the discovery of a mirror of our own planet.  An astrophysics student has just been released from prison after causing a fatal car accident.  Rhoda was distracted by the sight of a new planet in the night sky which had just moved from the other side of the sun.   She enters and wins an essay contest and the prize is a trip to Earth 2, she wants to see if an alternate version of herself exists.  If there is an alternate version, has the other Rhoda made different choices and followed a different life path?
     An interesting concept and visual with an earth just like this one in the sky.  Does it offer second chances after a horrible unforgivable mistake?  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
 
92 min, Drama directed by Mike Cahill with Brit Marling, Matthew-Lee Erlbach, D.J. Flava, William Mapother, Meggan Lennon, A.J. Diana, Bruce Colbert, Paul S. Mezey, Ana Valle, Jordan Baker.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 7.0 out of 10, 64% critic 69% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
