I do not know much about the actual life of L. Sarno, but this film depicts a great story about a man finding a home in an unfamiliar and often hostile place. As a former Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa, I can relate to these feelings and themes. The soundtrack is great and the acting is genuine. Perhaps it is only for personal reasons, but parts of this film will always be special to me.

Great practical effects and world building ...
20 July 2019
This is a fantastic science fiction film that makes good use of practical effects and builds a whole universe that you are left wanting to know more about. After watching the film, I searched the internet for a novel or comic book that this story may have been based on or in. I wanted to know more about Cee's life and Ezra's past. I was hooked! The story paints an accurate picture of history repeating itself well into the future, this time with the gold-rush occurring on a planetary scale, with all the same ruthlessness and violence shown in the All Gold Canyon segment of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, where Tom Waits plays a prospector. Not since the first Alien have I felt like I was watching an original science fiction film where the actors clearly were not just staring a green screens, but actually living and acting in the settings of the film. I highly recommend watching "The Making Of" specials associated with this movie. I eagerly await the next film by Christopher Caldwell and Zeek Earl.
