It may be slow paced, and pretty obvious story-wise in terms of the final outcome, but it's a truly well put together movie that is thoughtful, heart warming and also endearing.
In all honesty, the cast are the true stars, they have a very limited story to tell but they express everything in a short but sweet way. Also, I'm very impressed with Alexandra Shipp, I don't know too much about her career or resume but she ticks all the right boxes.
Lastly, I think Kyra Sedgwick did a fantastic job directing. It's a movie filled with many emotional intricacies but it was handled with due care and loving attention. You can tell when a movie was handcrafted compared to the "copy-paste" template we all have to endure these days from big budget studios.
Space Oddity is a beautifully crafted movie and well worth a viewing on a relaxing Sunday afternoon.
It gets a low budget 8 out of 10 for me.
