What a WONDERFUL surprise ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
11 July 2021
It boggles the mind why this movie isn't a blockbuster. OK it doesn't have the trappings of a Hollywood-contrived fantasy - BUT THAT is what makes this one of the most charming science fiction movies I have ever seen!

RAFE SPALL is what makes this work and it works so amazingly. His oh-so realistic performance touches the heart. I was caught up in every twice and turn of his psyche to the extent that at one point - it all seemed so terribly sad near the end.

The story is unusual and that is what attracted me. We are met with a story of speculative science fiction which follows NO PATTERN of storytelling or narrative. We are invited to experience a child-like wonder and to dream our dreams.

This movie is like no other I have ever seen. And I recommend it to any science fiction fan who is sick of all the cowboy stories that we are subjected to - which waste everyone's time without tugging at our brains or hearts.

This is the one I will never forget. Both Rafe Spall and Jenn Murray were perfect and I thank them for the experience. ♥♥♥
