       OJ (Kaluuyah) and his sister Emerald (Palmer) are the only black trainers of horses for films. Their dad was killed six months ago by things falling out of the sky. OJ is not coping well; Em is hyper happy.

       I’ve heard that this is a weird sci fi film. Many reviewers hate it. Some love it. That makes me curious.

       Anyway, OJ thinks he sees a UFO. Em wants to get photos, sell them and get rich. So, yeah, it’s weird. But also funny, exciting, a bit spooky. I like it and I like directors who dare to make weird sci fi films.
