Plot: It's been five years since first contact. We've learned a lot from the aliens, but society has been split in two. The rich live in fancy floating housing projects, the poor live on Earth. Adam is a young artist whose life is about to change when the aliens are impressed by the artwork he creates.

A quirky little sci-fi. It's not an outright comedy, but Finley leans into the weirdness and absurdity of the story and the result is a remarkable film. It's a peculiar mix of genres that makes it difficult to compare to any other film I've seen. If not for the lack of urgency, this could've been a true gem.
The aliens are strange little creatures, weird, square blobs of meat speaking an unintelligible language and sporting a few key cultural differences. The effects can be a tad too crummy and the plot is somewhat meandering, but the performances are strong and the film kept me on my toes until the very end. A fun surprise.
