Adam (Sturgess) is a seemingly ordinary guy in a very extraordinary universe. He lives humbly trying to make ends meet, but his romantic spirit holds on to the memory of a girl he met once upon a time from another world, an inverted affluent world with its own gravity, directly above but beyond reach… a girl named Eve (Dunst). Their childhood flirtation becomes an impossible love. But when he catches a glimpse of grown up Eve on television, nothing will get in the way of getting her back… not even the laws of science.

No known U.S. release date, but I'll check it out when it becomes available.

Looks interesting visually. The story seems a bit too on-the-nose though (down below is the working-class and up above is the upper class).

Not to mention their character names are Adam and Eve.

If it carries the Gattaca plot of a man trying to rise above his social status then I may see it. As it stands, there's nothing in there that interests me enough.

One theater is showing it.

* The look is just gorgeous.
* You will want to slap Adam by the end.
* Best to kind of squint and the plot and like it for what it is, a light-hearted romance.

It was enjoyable enough.

The hopeless romantic in me just had to blind buy this. I really hope it lives up to my expectations when I receive it.

Saw it twice, and it is a gorgeous film.

I didn't think this was particularly good, but I also wasn't bored.

The reviews for this are kind of dreadful, but then again, the reviews for the new G.I. Joe were dreadful too, and that was...nevermind.
