Andover

About This Movie

So, Andover is this quirky mix of comedy, romance, and sci-fi that dives into some pretty heavy themes. You’ve got Adam Slope, a genetics professor who’s grappling with grief after the tragic loss of his wife, Dawn. The film plays out with this dark humor, especially as he obsessively clones her, but each version just doesn’t capture her essence. It's interesting how it explores love and loss through a sci-fi lens. The pacing can feel a bit erratic, and the performances have a certain charm, though they're not exactly Oscar-worthy. What stands out is the distinct blend of tones – it’s light-hearted but carries this underlying melancholy. Also, the practical effects used in the cloning scenes have a unique flair that adds to the film's offbeat vibe.
