Ariana DeBose Stars in Controversial New Movie 'I.S.S.'

The film explores international cooperation amid disaster, but critics argue it falls flat in suspense and execution.

Ariana DeBose stars in the new movie 'I.S.S.' as Dr. Kira Foster, an American astronaut on the International Space Station.
The film explores how astronauts from the U.S. and Russia function together when there’s a nuclear disaster on Earth and conflict between the two countries.
DeBose's character displays a willingness to resort to extremes in the name of humanity and survival.
The movie, directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite and written by Nick Shafir, premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival and will be released in theaters on Friday.
Despite the anticipation, the film has received mixed reviews, with The Daily Beast describing it as 'incredibly disappointing' and 'lacking suspense.'
