Pendant ce temps sur Terre

I just barely found out about Meanwhile on Earth a few hours ago and decided to buy a ticket and go in blind. As unorthodox as this film was, the overall atmosphere is mostly what i expected. That's not to say it was predictable or bad. I just had an inkling this would be way more soft science fiction rather than something crazy and epic. I wasn't fully enthralled by the story, which sometimes felt meandering and lethargic but the visual style for the film deserves all sorts of praise and accolades. My lord, it was beautiful. I also quite enjoyed the relative originality to the story at the very least. It's not a perfect film but it definitely a low key and singular exercise that succeeds on a small scale. I have a feeling that I'll revisit it when it comes to streaming.
