Jules Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025When a UFO lands in Milton’s (Ben Kingsley) back yard crushing his azaleas, he welcomes the extra-terrestrial visitor with a blanket, a glass of water, and apples. But when he tells other folks in his small West Pennsylvania town about his guest, almost no one believes him. Most people write Milton off as simply losing it and pay no attention to his claims. One friend even begs him to stop saying things like that because it hurts the credibility of the other senior citizen’s claims. Milton’s not losing it, though. There is definitely an alien in his back yard. But the harsh truth is that Milton also is losing it. His faculties are degrading with age. He’s not as sharp as he used to be. His new alien friend, in a way, forces Milton to face his own mortality and come to grips with the fact that he may not be long for this world, and his existence on it may be about to change. "This remote only controls the volume. If I press any other buttons, then I have to call my daughter, Denise, to fix it and then she gets REALLY frustrated at me. " I absolutely died at this quote, to the point where I almost had to exit the theater because it’s such a perfect description of a common interaction between my mother and I. It was decidedly hilarious, but it simultaneously made me sad that she might possibly describe us this way. Jules implores us to consider what it’s like to grow old and to have empathy for our elders. Everyone deserves companionship, connection, dignity and respect. Really cute movie
