Thought-provoking but slow

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2020)

This is a slow-moving, cerebral movie that in the second half moves with more urgency and intrigue. If not anchored by such a strong performance by Amy Adams, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I did. Though at times I found it slow, I never wanted to turn it off, because the central question of the movie - WHY ARE THE ALIENS HERE? - is compelling enough that you have to stick it out to find out the answer.
