Nope
Someone needs to call me and explain this one to me. At its core, it’s a typical UFO yarn - trying to get a glimpse of the alien to find out what they want and maybe get a photo. It’s "Close Encounters." But Jordan Peele et al fill out scenes with so much distracting cuttiness and weirdness, you forget it’s just basically a Twilight Zone episode. Some of the distractions are cool. The horse farm location, for example. But other subplots are *bananas* and left me throwing up my hands in frustration. What. The. Hell? Still, a highly-ambitious story by a filmmaker who takes his sci-fi really seriously, and that’s appreciated. But I’m flummoxed. I’m going to need a power-point.
