Jules (2023)

Milton's a widower living on his own and he's beginning to show signs of confusion; his daughter has noticed, as have the other citizens who regularly attend town meetings. So, when he begins mentioning the spaceship that has crashed into his backyard, it only generates more concern about his mental state despite the fact that the spaceship and the alien who emerges are real. Soon a couple of elderly women are in on the secret and they're determined to keep "Jules" safe.

What a lovely story. The alien plot is sweet, but what I liked the most was the three lonely people coming together to form a sort of family. It was hopeful and a good reminder that everyone needs community -- as long as there's consciousness, there's a need for others in our lives.
