Writer/director Noah Hawley created 2 of the most interesting TV series of the last few seasons: LEGION and FARGO. He’s hit the big screen with less success. Natalie Portman plays an astronaut whose space mission changes her life. When she returns to Earth, she can’t seem to connect. Portman remains an accomplished actor, creating a damaged character that’s a bit original and mostly compelling. Sadly, the script doesn’t pack the wallop that would give her journey any emotional impact. Plus, some of the visual tricks that Hawley used in LEGION seem unnecessary here. This film is never dull, but never enthralling either.
