Captivating

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2019)

This beautifully acted and thought provoking film is supported all the way by a superb score. The ending is genuinely poignant and deeply moving.
An intelligent script and superb lead performances by Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner with classy support from Forest Whitaker makes this a truly satisfying film experience.
My only gripe is with the extraterrestrials themselves which I found rather weak and unconvincing.
The Sci-Fi genre is not one which usually interests me but this film sets the bar very high indeed.
