Storyline

A couple lives in Paris with their daughter, who suffers from an incurable disease forcing her to live in an hermetic glass bubble. One day, a mysterious fog begins to spread in the Parisian streets, killing everyone that gets caught in it. The parents find shelter on the roof above the mist, but the daughter is still in her bubble in the now fog-filled flat. Her parents must now cope with the lack of food, power and information, but also find a way to get her out, since the bubble won't hold eternally.

Goofs

When Mathieus' air hose is burnt through, they don't consider trying to fix it (considering that they are in a science lab) or even breathing from the hose. They also don't think to take the bottle so they have a spare. And, they don't consider if the suits in the lab (several of which are available) might fit them, particularly Anna, who is not much larger than Sarah.

SMOKING GOOD FUN

This as really cool movie. Actually a great metaphor for the Coronavirus that is beginning to take over the world right now.

So many great ideas terrifically executed with some really great acting and non Hollywood action. Loved it!

A few crazy plot flaws but honestly don't impact the movie much but dropped my rating slightly. 😉
