When a UFO crashes into his backyard, a lonely old man named Milton doesn’t panic—he offers the alien a chair, a name (Jules), and some applesauce. What follows is a gentle, oddly moving sci-fi dramedy that somehow blends Cocoon, E.T., and Nebraska. Ben Kingsley dials down the gravitas to play a man slipping into irrelevance with wry dignity, while Jules—the mute alien passenger—is somehow one of the most endearing screen characters of the year. Funny, heartwarming, and sneakily profound, it’s a story about friendship, aging, and otherworldly acceptance.
