What an intriguing topic to behold..


Engaging, sad and lonely, but a well worthy topic to display. How would it feel to be a cloned neanderthal in a world of humans. Portrays a succinct and subtle acquiesce to how we see ourselves. 10/10 from me. Surprising there are no other comments on this movie. I guess it's a diamond in the dark.

This sounds really interesting. Thanks for bringing attention to it!

Yes! Finally someone else on the board. I watched it in september '21 and I've been checking regularly since. I happened on it by coincidence when I was searching online for "occipital bun" (A feature of my skull that is associated with Neanderthals.)

I didn't watch it for months because the trailer (and the name of the director) had given me the false impression that it was some sort of Hallmark drama/comedy which isn't exactly my cup of tea.

So after a couple of months the time came when I was quite bored (somewhat rare in my life) and I thought what the hell, let's just watch it and I was blown away! 10/10 as you said.

Nicely put. I re-watched it daily for about a week and half afterwards and I can tell you I haven't cried this hard since I saw Marwencol (2010). It made have a bit of an identity crisis, which is quite a feat I'd say at 33.

I watched it so many times I noticed there are recurring violet objects. I guess this is a reference to American Violet, which I recently saw, also by Tim Disney.

I'll have to watch this.
