I came across this movie when browsing through the latest movies. Maybe it was in my watchlist because I watched Jules a while ago. In sense they are similar movies. At first glance it is about aliens, but if you look deeper the story about aliens is just the wagon. The real story is about young kids finding their way in life, connecting and how they see the future. I thought the performance of the main actors was very good, only spoiled by the cardboard characters of the mean schoolgirl and the brother. We should forget the plotholes, the mother never getting into touch with her son, the disappearance of the father never reported or investigated and the grandmother not telling anything to her grandson and leaving him in doubt. Also the ending was cheap. Typical happy ending of an American movie. It would have been so much better if the father hadn't returned and the disappearance would have remained a mystery. It would have made the film darker and more mysterious. Pity. Nonetheless I had a good time watching this film so have given it a good score.
