This film takes place in 2065, but it’s one of those low-budget sci-fi dramas that’s more about the characters than cool futuristic stuff. Saoirse Ronan & Paul Mescal play a happy couple living on a secluded farm in the barren Midwest, when a stranger shows up with an unusual proposal that will challenge their relationship. It’s interesting that both of the actors are Irish, playing Americans, but it’s even better that they’re both such talented actors. She goes thru some interesting changes, while he once again displays his knack for compelling depth. Their intimate moments are the highlights. On the down side, this film is mired in too much atmosphere, obtuse dialogue and ultimately, an ending that isn’t worth the effort.
