Like ET but better.

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2019)

I really enjoy this movie. It has elements of ET, with government coverups, a creature from space, kids, and single parents, but with deeper emotional conflict. The setting (late 1970s) provides a great soundtrack, and it's a time before cellphones and one-hour photos. The subplot involves a struggle with survivor's guilt and grief, with a satisfying resolution. I recommend this movie. It's a gem.
