Another Earth (1:32) 2011

Filmed in Connecticut, Another Earth is the story of Rhoda, a brilliant student ,who has been accepted to MIT. One night, in an instant of careless driving, she slams into a car killing a pregnant woman and her young son. The driver is a Yale professor, a composer, in a coma. Rhoda is sentence to four years in prison. The reason for the accident is Rhoda was looking into the night sky and viewing Earth 2. Earth 2 is just like us and have us on their planet, living our same lives. After she is released from prison, Rhoda appears at John Burroughs's  home, the sole survivor of the car accident, in order to apologize. When she loses her nerve, she tells him that she is there to give a complimentary house cleaning. He asks her to keep cleaning his house  and, over time, they develop a relationship. As Earth 2 comes closer, Rhoda is given a ticket to travel to Earth 2. Will she use the ticket? This is an interesting story idea but the movie fell a little flat. I watched it because it was filmed in and around my area and I spent time looking at the locations to spot familiar houses, buildings, and streets.
