A story about needing to be loved
This is a beautiful story about the need to be loved. It is an existential story, a story using sci-fi as a backdrop for what is a very intelligent and sensitive study of human relationships, especially that of a child and their parents.
It's also more broadly about empathy and humans' lack of it when it's most needed.
Steven Spielberg's most unsual film, perhaps more like a French philsophical film, and one of his best. It's a poem to the beauty and horror of what humanity is capable of.
Would recommend if you want to think and feel.
