Foe

Foe (2023) is an Australian-American sci-fi drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Garth Davis (Lion) and adapted from Iain Reid's novel, it stars Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan as a couple whose isolation is broken by a stranger with an unsettling government offer.

Junior has been selected for a long-haul mission off-planet. His wife Hen will not be left alone — a synthetic duplicate of Junior will stay behind while the original is away. The couple must decide whether to comply, and what it means to agree. That premise, quiet on paper, opens into something much stranger as the film moves forward.

Davis shoots it as a slow-burning chamber piece: wide open spaces outside, suffocating tension inside. Ronan and Mescal do the heavy lifting in near-silence, and Reid's story resists the tidy explanations the genre usually offers. Watch Foe (2023) online on iFILM.
