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.

Director: Corrinne James, Voice Actor: Justin Perez.
