Isaac Bruno is an astronomer consumed with searching the cosmos for evidence of life. When his obsession jeopardizes his career, he ignores a friend's advice to get his life back on track and instead delves deeper into his research - in part to escape from a tragedy in his past. After Isaac meets an artist named Clara, the two begin an unlikely collaboration sifting through mounds of newly released stellar data in the hopes of making a monumental discovery.

Even if you put all the Manic Pixie stuff aside, Clara is still a frustrating experience.

While the movie's morose mysticism is tolerable enough, once "Clara" starts arguing for following feelings instead of data, it puts on its own tinfoil hat.

Bogged down in endless philosophical and scientific discussions filled with technical jargon about such subjects as "quantum entanglement," Clara forgets to have anything resembling a compelling plot. Or an original one.

Clara is a small but perfectly played movie that deserves to be singled out for praise, for an intelligent storyline, for a genuine interest in science, and a romance that gives the film heart...

3/5

The push-and-pull between objectivity and intuition is interesting but overplayed to the point of exhaustion. The climax reaches for the stars, offering a hopeful note, that will strike some as poetic, others as the very definition of schmaltz.

With its story about hunting the universe for inhabitable planets, this is the filmic embodiment of that GIF of Eric Wareheim having his mind blown in space.

Great movie. As a fan of astronomy I felt my heart beat to see this film.

Beautiful film, it really moved me. The feel it gave me is sort of a mix between "Interstellar", "The Arrival" and "I Origins" which are all movies I love and have that beautiful universe-is-connected feeling.

Nothing specific here to mention that was particularly good or bad, but the pacing of emotion in the film makes it much more than the sum of its parts.

Troian Bellisario is such an Oscar worthy actress and Patrick J Adams is amazing. Seeing these two together in a movie will absolutely make my day better .

Saw this at VIFF - a beautiful movie by a promising young writer/director - can't believe he is just 23 years old! Great interwoven themes of sci-fi, science, drama and romance. Left me thinking...
