Proxima
There are some films that are so full of concepts, that are packed with reality-bending twists that the sheer rush of ideas and the enthusiasm of the filmmaking is enough, on its own, to hold your attention for the whole of the film. Not only is Proxima is just such a film, but it's also a very good piece of cinema in its own right.
This is very much a film for the literate SF fan. Although it has some flaws, the narrative is both effective and disorientating. The cast put in consistently strong performances and this, combined with both the visual feel of the film as well as the sheer volume of ideas and conceptual twists with which it is packed not only keeps you engaged throughout, but is also enough bring you back to the film, many times over.
