“The novel is a subversive tackle the alien invasion style, the place the invaders take over the planet by means of financial smooth energy quite than by means of navy would possibly,” writer-director Cory Finley (Thoroughbreds) defined in a press release supplied to io9. “It’s a colonial fable that’s as humorous as it’s darkish: a type of E.T. the place the alien residing in your own home is extra more likely to sue you than to develop into your buddy.”
Finley added, “Its imaginative and prescient of a slow-motion apocalypse felt deeply relatable: a world the place on a regular basis life is rendered alien, the place human labor is economically ineffective, and the place romantic and household love develop into commodities. And if there’s something radical concerning the film’s method to the style, I hope it’s its intimacy: the way in which we observe intergalactic domination from the kitchen desk. And the way in which that it finds hope not in a messianic savior however in a younger artist, making an attempt to make sense of all of it, similar to the remainder of us.”

Maybe it’s going to make folks take into consideration these very summary, highfalutin’ ideas concerning the financial system, inequality, company management and colonialism. Or, you possibly can simply sit again and be fascinated by its strangeness, or drawn in by the characters, the human drama and the love story and loss. However I hope additionally, you will stroll out actually chewing on among the massive themes.”
