Where to Begin?

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2018)

I watched this film with very low expectations, knowing only that it had an all female cast. I had assumed it would be cut from the same cloth as Black Panther or the recent Ghost Busters remake where the only point of the film is that it does not have white male cast. How wrong I was.
I can see why so many of the reviewers seemed to have loathed it but I loved it. A most unexpected treat that defies conventional explanation and offers no real understanding.
An excellent soundtrack, visually quite lovely, it ranges from tediously dull to tensely suspenseful with moments of amazement and horror.
A dash of 2001, a hint of The Arrival, a flicker of Aliens, something altogether different.
