Movie recommendation: Jules

It’s hard to believe that watching a movie on a tiny little screen in the back of a crowded airplane can have you sucked in but this movie I just watched was so damn heartfelt and sweet. It’s called Jules.

Director Marc Turtletaub explains "The alien is a catalyst. It's like a creature that has no voice that allows other people to find their voice and when they can find their voice, they can find connection" Turtletaub hopes audiences learn from the movie that "Mostly, how important it is to be a great listener"

Here’s a synopsis of the film - I highly recommend it especially if you’re in the mood for something heartfelt. It’s not streaming, only available for purchase but I gotta say: worth it.

A man's quiet life gets upended when a UFO crashes in his backyard in rural Pennsylvania. As he befriends the mysterious extraterrestrial, things start to get complicated when two neighbours discover it and the government quickly closes in
