An Amish mute searches for his missing girlfriend using any glimpse of a hint.
A film that looked perfect on paper (synopsis, trailer, Moon's director, Paul Rudd and Alexander etc.), but in reality it is far below expectations. With an interesting cast, the film offers a few roles that are quite different to the usual typecast work of the actors involved, with Paul Rudd being the most memorable. Theoretically a "spiritual" follow up of Moon (which has an obvious connection to the Mute universe), Mute is way below that one's quality. Placed in a futuristic context, it has almost no sci-fi element that contributes to the story, except the connection with Moon. So the sci-fi angle is basically not exploited at all. And the emotional angle almost never manages to convince up until the final moments.
