The Vast of Night could be the best sci fi film of 2020. This is the film Steven Spielberg would have made if he came up with Ty West and Adam Wingard, but with dashes of Edgar Wright and Wes Anderson. The science fiction doesn't even take place until the end but the various long takes, and Sam Raimi camera angles add to tension and paranoia. The 50s setting is perfect and super refreshing for a tale like this. Instantly you are hooked on the characters and you find their jobs become super fascinating(yesterdays jobs, today's hobbies). This is a unique film with slight nods towards old school anthology sci fi series, but it feels totally authentic.
