FILM: Jules

(USA, 2023, 87 mins, color, PG-13) 

Starring Ben Kingsley, Jane Curtain, Harriet Sansom Harris and Zoe Winters 

Jules follows Milton who lives a quiet life of routine in a small western Pennsylvania town, but finds his day upended when a UFO and its extra-terrestrial passenger crash land in his backyard. Before long, Milton develops a close relationship with the extra-terrestrial he calls "Jules." Things become complicated when two neighbors discover Jules and the government quickly closes in. What follows is a funny, wildly inventive ride as the three neighbors find meaning and connection later in life -- thanks to this unlikely stranger. - RottenTomatoes.com 

“It's less a sci-fi parable... than a fairy tale reminding us that the tribulations of getting old are more natural than sad, and best done in the company of loved ones.” Michael O’Sullivan, Washington Post, 8/9/23
