Best movie of 2025. Emma Stone is so deserving of her Oscar nomination, and I really hope that she wins it. I also think that Jesse Plemons was totally snubbed for a nomination. He does such a great job of portraying Teddy in a way that makes it hard to decide whether he is just insane, or if he is right. That’s also so thing that I love about this film. It makes you question whether she really is an alien or not, and on rewatch, you can totally see the film in a whole different light. One of the main fake outs that’s awesome was when she tells Teddy the story about the aliens, and it’s so elaborate that you actually believe that she is telling the truth. But later when she is in her office, it feels like a trap. Everything she says sounds like bullshit. Like do you really expect me to believe that the path from earth to an alien spaceship is by using a calc and a closet. And the people standing outside makes it seem like they are about to catch Teddy. Michelle even seems to back away in fear after Teddy enters the closet. If the film ended right after she is taken away, the ending would have already worked, but the fact that she goes back and ends up being an alien seals the 5 stars for me. And the ending sequence with all the dead people feels so cinematic and very conclusive, which i absolutely love. Also i’d like to say that it is a crime that this isn’t at least nominated for cinematography, i love how this was hot. And the score man, amazing. This is really just a film that i love and hasn’t gotten the appreciation that it deserved, but there is still time to get at least a few oscar wins. I’m crossing my fingers. 🤞
