We all want to believe. Don’t we? Someone or something must be in charge of all of this, this chaos is ordered somehow, and we all receive our just desserts eventually; or are the winners on this planet simply taking the rest of us for fools as they manipulate our minds and souls with money, media and drugs? Is it both? Is it neither? Whatever it is we all feel the desire, fleeting or intentional, to find the wizards at the heart of our reality. Same goes for Teddy (Jesse Plemons) who is convinced that Michelle (Emma Stone), the head of the company he works for, is an alien manipulating humanity from the top down. He’s so convinced that he wrangles his ingenuous cousin Don (Aidan Delbis) to aid in her kidnapping so that she may take them to her mothership to speak directly to her superiors and demand that the aliens leave earth for good. What follows is a tricky situation for one percenter Michelle to manage. She grasps at all the strings she can to try and extricate herself from this insane, and quite creative situation. Bugonia laughts at the limits, and all the players are in like Flynn. Plemons is the action; monstrously on edge, putting conspiratorial thoughts into action, as well as in serious need of nourishment. Delbis is all of us as we wonder about the truth and sense it must have something to do with love. And Stone is, well, the void. Michelle is cold, smart, strong, and all the things we equate with financial success. Watching her fight with her wits is the greatest pleasure in a film that is funny, but never pleasant. Right and wrong are not the table here. It’s all a matter of what we do with what we believe, and what does it mean when even your beliefs are no longer within your control?
