Sarah
(Alison Brie) is a quiet girl who likes horses and keeps to herself, watching
TV and doing crafts. After some strange things begin happening to her, she
suspects she might be a clone, a clone of her grandmother. No one really takes
her seriously and from there, the weirdness continues.
Sarah
works at a craft store and is talking with co-worker Joan (Molly Shannon). They
are talking about DNA testing and Joan is telling Sarah she did a DNA home test
kit and found it really interesting. Sarah replies she really doesn’t know a
lot about her family.
Joan
gets Sarah a DNA kit for her birthday and Sarah sends away for the results.
Nikki
encourages Sarah to go on a double date for Sarah’s birthday. After a night of
drinking and dancing, Sarah experiences some weird stuff. She hits it off with
Darren (John Reynolds) and they begin dating.
Sarah’s
car is ‘stolen’ one morning and found in the middle of the road. It’s towed to
an impound lot where her stepfather, Gary (Paul Reiser) helps her retrieve it.
Sarah does not know how it got there. Sarah questions Gary as to when her
mother, now deceased, began acting weird.
At one
point, Sarah finds herself standing outside next to a payphone holding a
receiver in her hand and she has lost track of time. Her co-worker Joan
recommends she sees a professional. Sarah does. She also notices she has what appear
to be bruises on her leg and body. She asks the doctor if there is a
possibility she is a clone. He kind of laughs it off.
On a
date with Darren, she wants to prove she is a clone and suggests they dig up
her mother to get some of her mother’s DNA. Soon, Sarah is checked into a
mental facility. Sarah does not remember the social worker who has worked with
her before. More weird stuff happens.
What
will happen to Sarah? Is she a clone?
Sarah’s
actions made me think more about mental health issues than aliens, but aliens
do have a role in this movie. The line of reality is blurred for the viewer,
just like it’s blurred for the main character. A strange movie where sometimes you
don’t know what’s real and what’s not. There’s a lot of strange stuff that
happens. There’s more nudity and sex than I was expecting and I’m still not
entirely sure if that actually happened. The plot is somewhat of a slow
burn to get to the end where only some pieces connect themselves to others. The
ending is only a little satisfying, but I still have questions. Despite its
oddness, I enjoyed this movie. I Recommend watching it.
