One of the best sci-fi movies of the decade is on TV tonight

The sci-fi currently holds a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

The 2022 sci-fi's story takes place after the collapse of the Earth's ecosystem. It follows the title character, a 13-year-old girl (Raffiella Chapman), as she uses her survival skills to support herself and her ailing father (Richard Brake, Barbarian) in this strange and dangerous new world.

"Vesper soon discovers that her brutal neighbour, Jonas (Eddie Marsan, No Ordinary Heist), is searching for Camellia, who is harbouring a secret that could change all of their lives forever.

"Forced into a dangerous adventure, Vesper must rely on her wits and bio-hacking abilities to unlock the key to an alternate future."

Watch the trailer for Vesper right here:

Made on a reported budget of just €5 million, Vesper's co-directors, Kristina Buožytė and Bruno Samper, conjure an impressively expansive and haunting vision of a decaying Earth barely kept alive by technology. This is thanks to their use of gorgeous forest locations and well-deployed special effects.

The movie also benefits from an easy-to-root-for protagonist and an imaginative screenplay. The latter is filled with fascinating details that further build out the movie's world, while putting the lead character through the wringer in compelling ways.

Holding a high 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes, Vesper is airing on TV tonight on Film4 at 11.10pm. It's also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, MovieMe, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.
