Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

It was a solid box office hit, though it had almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at anyone who believes we're not alone and anyone who likes learning something new. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 5 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The alien abduction phenomenon, told by those who experienced it, with the weight of a Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatrist at their back.
