Everything Beautiful Is Far Away

The pace is slow. But the music succeeds in creating a strange atmosphere. Acting is impeccable. I agree with other reviewers that say that you have to be in the mood to watch such a movie. Now, can someone explain to me how a girl with milky white skin spend days in the desert without getting sunburns?

it's a low-budget indie sci-fi/fantasy. a little bit of romance in there as well.

I'm watching this movie without knowing anything about it, never heard of it and never seen the trailer, so I have a minimum expectation. and I love it.

if you expect to see a dystopian world with lots of conflicts or a survival journey for a better world or life, you won't get it in here.

it's a light movie, pretty straightforward. there is nothing much happening in this movie, you don't really get a huge conflict, which gives me positive vibes to the story, and somehow uplifting.

the cinematography is great, and I love the bright color.

This is definitely something else. Slowburning, quirky, intriguing and lovely. AND quite original. With beautiful photography and music.

Unknow little gem, with only 22 reviews on Imdb, mine included. How is that possible?

The story: Julia Garner in a terrific role as one of 2 persons wandering through the desert in search for a lake. That's all there is to see. They wander around the desert, they drink, they eat, they talk to a robot...

Best suited for an arthouse audience, who likes quirky, slowburning tales.

I came across this movie on HULU streaming, the description made it sound interesting.

In fact it is very interesting and the two leads are pretty good. They don't explain much but judging on some of the dialog and the strange plant species they encounter, trying to find nourishment, seems like they must be on a planet that is not Earth.

Julia Garner is Rola and she is wandering through the vast desert. When Joseph Cross as Lernert comes across her she seems near death with white foam at her lips. He realizes she has eaten a poisonous bulb that resembles an edible one, he gives her something which saves her.

Each of them is wandering through the desert, and he is searching for a mysterious lake. He is also carrying an intelligent animatronic head that sees and talks. But only the head and part of his task is to find batteries to keep her "alive."

So, even though they have a brief encounter with a lost man it is basically these three characters, and only two of them are alive. It could easily have been a two character stage play, in this case the desert is the stage.

Actually nicely done overall but as a feature movie it doesn't contain a lot of meat on its bones. You have to be in the mood.

My wife and I liked this movie a lot. It's a little slow-moving, but far from boring. The plot requires some obvious suspension of disbelief, but not too much to enjoy the film. The main characters are bit different, but endearing and not caricatures.

If you think science fiction movies require massive explosions, space ships and special effects then you'll be disappointed. But this movie is well written, well acted, well photographed and well worth your time to watch!
