Totally awesome. Sincere acting, suspenseful plot. Makes me miss LA, in the love-hate kind of way that mimics the characters own relationship.
This film is incredible. The way it weaves between documentary and narrative, which you don't even realize until after, the sincerity of the actors, the intensity of the politically charged and terribly realistic depiction of how life would be if aliens really did come to earth all build up on the grittiest, truest, and moving pieces of cinema on my list.
I suspect Harrison Ford wasn't acting very much, but Rachel McAdams knocked it out of the park – she was quirky and honest and human. The story has a very regular structure, but the writers threw in enough tiny, unexpectedly human details that it really tugs at your heart strings. I found it inspiring.
A genius re-imagining. No bullshit, harsh & grittily realistic. The cinematography was groundbreaking and under appreciated, I think.
