Score:
Sixteen-year-old Nina spends her summers working at a fading amusement park with her friend in rural France, but dreams of a bigger life. When she sees a meteorite crashing through the sky, she knows her life is about to change forever. It does, when she meets her best friend's brother, Morad, and we experience Nina's hopes, dreams, and downfalls with her. Told using Polaroid-sized vignettes, this film's collages are an empathetic portrait of a world characterized by changing identities against an unmoving landscape. An honest and moving character study with a dash of Jurassic-themed surrealism, Meteorites offers something new. Sometimes the best stories can be found in the here and now, but a little bit of fantasy never hurt.
