Peter and Lorna are a
young couple working together on a documentary film in Los Angeles. They have joined a mysterious and
secretive cult. Maggie is the
leader of the cult and she claims to be from the future, specifically 2054. Peter and Lorna believe she is a fraud
but they want other people to see Maggie and inside this cult. They begin to waver because of her
charismatic persona. Lorna wants
to leave the cult when Maggie asks Peter to bring one of his grade school
students to see her.
If something seems like it might be fake, smells like it might be fake
and never stops being weird, wouldn’t that make you think it was fake and weird? I couldn’t see why anyone would stay or
come back after the first meeting with Maggie? She has an agenda that just hasn’t been revealed in the
beginning!! Another Earth, also
with Marling is much better than this movie. 2 1/2* (This movie was just
so-so)
