About This Movie

Like Us, directed by Mikhail Saburov, is this intriguing blend of drama and sci-fi that really delves into the complexities of human emotion. The story revolves around a lonely woman caring for her paralyzed husband, and then she stumbles upon this alien, which is an interesting concept. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the emotional weight of the characters to seep through. You can see the practical effects are thoughtfully done, adding a layer of realism to the alien character, which is a nice contrast to the woman's stark reality. The performances stand out; there's a rawness that captures the isolation and longing both characters experience. It’s a unique take on connection and what it means to feel.
