    we feel rested here
    in a welcome restlessness
    to hold our new own.

    Truly magnificent sci-fi, how has it taken me almost two months to watch this?! 

    The truly incredible aspects of this film were the 'what if' questions that are posed in the movie, that initially seem like 'what if aliens landed on earth' but actually turn into something a whole lot more human and ultimately gut wrenching than that. Adams as a lead female character was immensely built of gentle determination, intensity and intelligence. Along side this, the use of classical movie tropes reworked and only realised around half way through were just brilliant.
     Ah, a new fave for sure.
