*Landscape with Invisible Hand*

Despite its only middling at best reviews, I found this one of the most original and intriguing movies of the year.  The formula “African-American family movie plus Only Fans for space aliens” isn’t exactly exhausted, or for that matter even plausible as the basis for anything.  Yet the whole production comes off surprisingly well once you accept the absurdist premise, and it feels freshly cinematic.  The movie also has a lot of economics, and self-consciously so, though not exactly in a free market direction.  Here is the trailer.
