Just Wow!

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2017)

Possibly as close to perfect as you can get.
The majority of Hollywood Alien movies are about invasion and how much more advanced other races are / would be / could be / should be. This movie is more about symbiosis and probably more a comment on global politics than most would care to admit.
The movie is a slow burner, with flashbacks to a massive loss for the main character leading up to a breathtaking final 10 minutes. A lot of negative reviews are from people who don't understand what happened. Ignore these people and watch the movie. Use your imagination and listen to the dialogue. Sometimes, the biggest things that happen in movies don't have flashing lights or dramatic music to tell you it has happened!
I watched this movie and sat talking to my wife about it for two hours after. It is slow, but the gift is heartbreaking and a real talking point, especially for the main character and her future.
