Review of No One Will Save You

Yes, this is a terrifying and tense film with aliens and jump scares. And yes, it's a story about survival. But my take on the movie is unlike many of the reviews here, which compelled me to comment. SPOILER ALERTS notice the physical size of the aliens, ranging from small to incredibly large. To me this means they took different approaches to reaching Brynn - the size of a young teen (same age as Brynn at the time of the traumatic event); a house-sized alien (scaled to the house where Brynn took refuge); mom-sized; taking the shape of her neighbors...They tried different ways to get her attention and communicate with her. That abduction was their herculean attempt to get through to her, to force her to deal with her grief and learn to accept herself. The high shot of various alien spaceships beaming to different places on the landscape is a cue that these aliens were addressing others who are grieving or filled with self-doubt. The scene in which Brynn met Brynn represents her self-inflicted wounds. That final scene, while it looks exaggerated to the viewer (us), reflects the profound shift Brynn feels within herself. Those aliens were like angels, not demons. The abduction scene even included a conversation among the aliens and their divine beings (they looked up for guidance). This is a unique film dampened not by the ending as others have suggested, but for the verrrrrry long path to get to the point. I'd watch it again, maybe fast-forwarding not through the alien interactions but the long beats in between.
