Storyline

- TriviaThe house featured in the movie was re-created to resemble a real house located just outside Westport, Ontario, Canada. Originally, the plan was to film at the actual location near Westport; however, due to actor scheduling constraints, it would have required shooting during the Canadian winter, which was not suitable for the film's storyline. Consequently, the production team opted to construct an exact replica of the Westport house in Australia.
- Quotes
Terrance: We've been working on the next phase of transition for a long time. There's always been several possibilities of human existence in space. The moon, Mars. But with our lands an seas transforming as they are, we decided to built our own space station, our own planet.
Junior: Yeah, what... what's that got to do with us?
Terrance: Right, so I'm here because of the installation. Eh, the first wave of temporary resettlement.
Junior: Oh, yeah, yeah, no, I think I heard about this shit once.
Terrance: You did?
Hen: Looks pretty ridiculous. I mean, why would you spend money up there when you should be fixing thing here?

Terrance integrates into their lives, conducting interviews and revealing startling visions of the future and grim truths from the past.
Despite stunning visuals and A-list talent, "FOE" falls short. Efforts to inject substance are undermined by nonsensical storytelling and awkward dialogue. Esteemed actors can't salvage the film's status, and deep conversations fall short due to a weak script.
On the surface, "FOE" presents a visually stunning experience, featuring the talents of Saoirse Ronan, Paul Mescal, and Aaron Pierre as they journey through, picturesque landscapes and delve into profound human emotions like love and loss.
Despite being the central focus, the exploration of Hen and Junior's marriage is not interesting at all.
Junior's possessiveness and jealousy of Hen's interactions with Terrance are unsurprising, while Hen expresses a feeling of stifling predictability in the marriage.
She shares with Terrance the struggle of losing her sense of self within the confines of her unhappy marriage.
Despite her evident discontent, the film persistently attempts to portray her situation as if everything is fine, thereby undermining the sole narrative thread of the story.
The film's superficial ending may prompt you to question the worth of the time you've spent watching it.
Even though it strives to take cues from the sci-fi thriller genre, specifically "Black Mirror," "FOE" fails miserably.
