Watched this this past weekend. Without spoiling much, it's a bit of a weird mashup of ET, Solaris and a lot of other coming-of-age stories that still manages to mostly feel like it's own thing. While it felt a bit predictable when it came to it's mystery, it always kept a charming, sweet and wondrous atmosphere.

And it was funny. Very, very funny. I loved that dentist's wife.
