RED ROVER (2018)
For some the potential of a mission to Mars is a pipe-dream or a
diversion from problems here on planet Earth. For others it’s a prime
example of the ambition of the human species, and our obsession with
achieving the impossible. Whatever your thoughts on space exploration
it’s certainly a topic full of existential musings, which seems to be
why writer-director Duane Murray has chosen this subject. To be clear
this isn’t a story about science fiction, but instead a human drama
about doomed romances, failed careers and social isolation. Would you
choose to get away from it all on a one way trip to the stars? Your
mileage may vary depending on your personality, but for some the
question will be a poignant one.
