ANYA

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

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.
