Articles & Reviews:

– io9: “For this Astronaut, the Last Night on Earth Has a Different Meaning”
– 7th Matrix: “Odessa is gorgeously shot and beautifully acted with an emotional intelligence highlighted by the adroit writing and direction of Cidney Hue.”
– Science vs Hollywood: “…a very human story on how fleeting human connections can be. Some of the themes are reminiscent of Queen’s song ‘39 and the 2014 movie Interstellar.’”
– Labocine: “Odessa is what a goodbye forever to the time you live in looks like.”
– Kuriositas: “Odessa is a low-key and reflective look at one aspect of the human condition – the urge to explore.”
– Mighty Mega: “Odessa is a lovely film that explores what it might be like to contemplate a 135-year-long journey to a distant extrasolar planet.”
– Drive in Zeppelin: “It’s pretty neat how the director humanizes the City of New York…”
– Wide Screen World: “You could call this Gravity meets Before Sunrise”
