• Adrian Molina, Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian co-direct the film featuring voices from Yonas Kibreab, Zoe Saldaña, Remy Edgerly, Brad Garrett and Jameela Jamil.
• Reviewers commend the movie’s stunning space renderings and inventive creature design but criticize its familiar narrative and limited emotional depth.
• A midcredits ham-radio scene reinforces the film’s themes of connection by suggesting Elio’s bond with his alien friend continues beyond the main story.
