There’s courage in addressing existential questions, as well as a magnificent score by Thomas Newman and a couple of surprising performances that try to elevate the narrative. However, the fragmented structure prevents the human connection that Stanton so strongly defends from deeply materializing, resulting in a sincere visual essay that’s admired more for its intention than its final result. In the end, what remains is the image of a vast universe where, despite our temporal insignificance, the act of caring for one another remains the only light capable of piercing through the millennia."
