Resident Alien

About This Movie

Resident Alien, it's a real slice of life, isn't it? I mean, you've got Quentin Crisp, this fascinating character, just navigating New York at 73, and the camera follows him like a shadow. The pacing feels leisurely, almost intimate, as we soak in his observations and wit. Crisp’s performances—effortless, really—are complemented by the gritty streets of Manhattan, where he seems to thrive. The film doesn’t rush; it lets you linger on moments of sadness, humor, and the absurdity of life. There's something raw and real about the whole vibe, the practical effects are nonexistent, but honestly, they aren’t missed. It's Crisp's essence that lingers long after you’ve put the film down. Quite distinctive, I'd say.
