Exclusive Trailer

Justin Long and Emmy Rossum are star-crossed lovers whose relationship blooms and unravels over the course of six years in this mysterious, dazzlingly original romance. When a chance encounter brings together the cynical Dell (Long) and the quick-witted Kimberly (Rossum), the stage is set for a tempestuous love affair that unfolds like a puzzle. As the film zigzags back and forth in time-from a meteor shower in LA, to an encounter in a Paris hotel room, to a fateful phone call-an unforgettable portrait of a relationship emerges. Sumptuously shot and boasting incredible chemistry between the leads, Comet is a one-of-a-kind cosmic love story. —IFC Films

A breakup story

Comet is about any breakup story, just as we all have gone through, which alway contains memories and fantasies, that in the case of Comet this fantasies are defined as parallel universes Be ready to be confused, spend time reflecting and you will understand that this story is or was your breakup story
