Spoiler-free #movie #review...
Jules (2023) - a #SciFi/#comedy starring Ben Kingsley, Harriet Sansom Harris, and Jane Curtin.
This is a cute and #quirky take on the classic #alien-contact story. Ben Kingsley is a retired gentleman in a small midwest town, and an unlikely target for first contact with an alien species. It's warm, it's funny, it has a bit of the air of Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993), and it doesn't go in the completely obvious directions that you expect it to.
It's another movie for #adults, with interesting characters, great performances, and very few #pixels.
Highly #recommended.

Aside: these mini #MovieReview toots seem to be appreciated. Given how difficult it is to find good movies for adults - things where story, people, relationships are the core, rather than Yet Another Horrible #Disney/#Marvel #CGI #Festival - and how little promotion #Hollywood gives such movies, I think I'll keep sharing these. And maybe start searching the #fediverse for others' takes on the same sorts of searches.
