Simplest Jordan’s film out of all the films he has made. This legit reminded me of Steven Spielberg’s “War of the world” but this is more personal/existential than just a blockbuster sci fi that war of the world was. We all love to discuss regarding conspiracy theories about aliens and UFO. Jordan has made a brilliantly engaging film where I felt like I was with the actors trying to discover what that animal or alien is which is roaming near their house. The whole thing about “Claiming a territory” is so true not only for humans but even other worldly things. There’s one dialogue regarding their horse -  “Ghost (Name of the horse) is behaving like it’s his territory. I think some animals ain’t fit to be trained”. This became true to even the thing that is roaming above them. Even humans had put “Private property no trespassing” signs which makes them claiming their territory. In reality too we have seen government trying to destroy a village just to build something or a road. So all are same in this universe. Though Jordan hasn’t said all these explicitly but we can sense what he’s trying to tell. It’s amazing how Jordan has connected such a simple thing to Something outer worldly being and then making it super existential sci fi. Loved loved Hoyte van Hoytema‘s cinematography. Not as deliciously complex as his other films but it’s by no means a bad or even an average film. A great one yet again by him.
