Science Fiction "invasions" don't have to be all the same. The idea in this film is to show how two ordinary people find ways to cope without panicking, looting, and shooting. They were being violated and manipulated in the subtlest of ways. There was truly nothing they or the world could do about it. The circumstances were realistic... food shortages... and idealism, and glimmers of hope. The acting was sufficient for how the story was intended to be told. Leave the cultural criticisms out. This movie has good elements and is worth promoting by open-minded global thinkers like Netflix and true fans of SciFi.
