Aliens Abducted My Parents and Now I Feel Kinda Left Out

Yes of course it was the title that stirred my curiosity. And I'm so glad it did! I enjoyed this film (yes I'm British) from beginning to end. Well, not quite. At the start I was determined not to like the daughter (Emma Tremblay); but by the end I realised she had to start off like that, the result of a good script and sensitive direction.

And that goes for all the characters. They come across as real, and have a good character arc. The film does well to keep what it needs to until near the end. I doubt you'll guess the truth about Calvin (the very talented and handsome Jacob Buster)!

No spectacular special FX, a script like this doesn't need them.

This seems to be an overlooked little gem, and deserves to be better known. Enjoy it as that!
