The most beautiful woman in the galaxy is less interesting than Brad Pitt aging backwards. “Alien in Love,” directed by Corinne James, is a brief, colorfully animated satire on modern socio-filmic culture and its primary users. A young cinephile reviews a film on Letterboxd while his girlfriend patiently waits for his attention. She makes an effort to seduce him but he’s preoccupied writing his review on “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Before.” Before we know it, a demonic alien creature descends from the sky in an effort to woo the unattended damsel, stealing her away from her earthly boyfriend’s film bro obsessions and constantly buzzing fruit flies. -JM. Director: Corrinne James, Voice Actor: Justin Perez.
