We Are Aliens

みーんな、宇宙人。

Nippon Visions   ½ 

The aliens have come to end humanity. But these cute and fluffy creatures from space are touched by the vulnerability of the Earthlings they encounter – could it really be too late to save the world? In WE ARE ALIENS, a colorful tragicomedy with a feel-good soundtrack, director Kenichi UGANA reminds us to keep faith in humanity, even in dark times.
