Another Earth (2011)

Rhoda is a brilliant high school student on her way to MIT. While driving home after a night of celebrating with her friends, she is distracted by the news of a planet very similar to Earth now visible in the night sky and plows into a family. This tragedy, of course, changes both her life and that of the family's sole survivor.

Brit Marling is sheer talent. Though she's a fine actress, she is a truly gifted creator. Her ideas transport and force one to consider the unknown. This film casts a spell and I know I'll be thinking about it for years.
