About This Movie

Down To Earth (2019) offers a curious blend of comedy, drama, and fantasy that feels quite intimate. The story revolves around Thomas, a young angel in training, who has to confront some heavy themes as he responds to the prayer of a 60-year-old woman contemplating suicide. The film captures an odd mixture of light-heartedness and profound sadness, which makes for an engaging watch. The pacing has a reflective quality, allowing us to feel the weight of Thomas's struggle. The practical effects here are minimal but effective, serving the narrative without overshadowing it.
