Different from the endless parade of superheroes.

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2018)

At first, I gave this film high marks for originality. After giving it more thought, I realized that it was formulaic in its own way. Odd for a science fiction-type film to win Best Picture, but that's OK. The acting was quite good, and some of the characters were weird. Better than, and different from most Hollywood offerings. I was unfamiliar with Hawkins, Shannon, and the whole cast, except for Octavia Spencer. But I found the film to be worthwhile.
