I'll Follow You Down is a 2013 sci-fi drama film directed by Richie Mehta. The movie tells a poignant story of a family struggling through the devastation of missing loved ones, who may or may not have disappeared through a wormhole. The plot centers on Erol (Rufus Sewell) and his wife Marika (Gillian Anderson), whose lives are shattered when Erol's father Gabriel (Victor Garber), a renowned physicist, disappears without a trace.

Erol's son, young and bright, becomes a beacon of hope in their struggles, and through his resourcefulness, he uncovers a clue about his grandfather's disappearance that prompts Erol to revisit his father's groundbreaking research. With the help of his colleague Dr. Amelia Hart (Haley Joel Osment), Erol travels to Princeton, where Gabriel once worked, in search of answers. There, Erol forms a cautious friendship with a graduate student named Yuri (John Paul Ruttan), whose curiosity and insights open new avenues in their quest for discovery.

As they delve deeper into Gabriel's studies, Erol and Yuri learn of a way to bring him back from a parallel universe in which he has been trapped for over a decade. However, as they embark on a mission to reunite the family, they soon realize that some journeys cannot be taken without losing something else in return.

The film takes a philosophical approach to examining the effects of long-term grief, strained bonds between family members, and the complexities of parallel universes, all while maintaining a poignant and unique storyline. It takes twists and turns that leave viewers in awe and confusion as they try to piece together the puzzle of the plot.

The cinematography is beautifully done, with a melancholic and muted color palette that authentically depicts a family struggling with loss. Performances by the cast, particularly Gillian Anderson as a mother on the brink of despair and Rufus Sewell as an estranged family member haunted by his past, are phenomenal and add a personal touch to the already impactful plot.

While the movie's themes are on the heavier side, the film is overall emotionally resonant and thought-provoking. It is a journey of discovery, loss, and redemption that ultimately asks and answers the question, "What happens when you try to fix the past?"

In conclusion, I'll Follow You Down (2013) is a captivating and unforgettable sci-fi drama that combines complex concepts with a well-crafted story of family and human connections.
