the film's ambition proves to be larger than its reach, but it's an admirable and oftentimes effective drama about mortality, regret, and, well, the value of living
McDowell has crafted a story shaped by unanswerable questions and leverages the specificity of its destination in order to illuminate the universality of its journey
it's the small budget approach to a big concept and the raw emotion that radiates from each and every character that makes The Discovery engrossing and astounding cinema
after its fine start, this brainy slice of provocative speculative fiction slowly but surely loosens its grip on audience involvement rather than increasing it
