    Absolutely brilliant. I love how terrifying and creepy they made this alien horror. I haven't watched an alien thriller/horror that creeper me out more. It was so brilliant done. And I love Jordan Peeles approach on the topic of UAPs and aliens. You can see the inclusion of modern reports/experiences of UAPs and their mysteriousness. Especially the whole American farm/middle of nowhere vibe that the portray.
    I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

    A brilliant yet tragic story that displays the "ugliness" of people and the "ugly" things being are driven to do becaue of their unfortunate circumstances. Makes you think, what other heinous acts do people justify by blaming their negative circumstances?

    A classic AI taking over the humans. It was fun. I enjoy the acting, especially for the MC, she did a great job at expressing the inner crazy that slowly leaks through her expressions.
    I enjoyed how they played around with the politics and rights of the humans as opposed to the rights of the robots. And I like how the MC gains self-awareness and starts becoming more sentient/conscious. It makes me think, at what point do they stop being…

    As usual, I love the cinematography, story and characters.
    I enjoy the simple, occasional absurdity. I love how silly and playful Wes Anderson is with the film while still telling unique, intelligent and serious stories.
    My favorite section was Revisions To a Manifesto. I thought that was absolutely brilliant, witty, funny and thought provoking. I love the topic of protest.
    Second favorite was The Concret Masterpiece. It was fascinating and It felt like a good, theatrical description of what good abstract art is.
