ANYA

An excellent first effort into narrative storytelling for Okada and Taylor.

It's a sci-fi "fairytale," a I guess. And as such, it's sorely lacking.

I was consistently brought back by the chemistry between Libby and Marco, the fascinating concept at the heart of the film, and the ambivalent critique of anthropology and ethnography that went alongside it.

There isn't much about Anya that's predictable. It's a love story, family drama, and science experiment all rolled into one.

This love story packs an emotional punch with the help of science.

Anya is a smart little film which will leave you wondering what surprises might still be in store for us in the real world.

A quirky movie full of surprises. Good cast and Motell Gyn Foster is outstanding as the "evolutionary geneticist." Worth looking up.

The personal drama of a strange people with entrenched customs may be more interesting than the sometimes confusing science but Anya ambitiously tries to balance both, and mostly succeeds.
