Landscape with Invisible Hand is a 2023 American science styrical fiction film movie written and directed by Cory Finley (Thoroughbreds, Bad Education), based on the 2017 novel of the same name by M. T. Anderson. The film stars the young black man with artistic aspirations Asante Blackk as Adam Campbell and Kylie Rogers as Chloe Marsh as protagonist, both bellow average, through the role who really shines is from Tiffany Haddish as the matriarch Beth Campbell. The two younglins meet by the obsoleted (and soon to be closed school) and is invited to live in the basement of the Campbell family, that retained the house in a impoverished Erath where the rich sent to flying city to work (in minor jobs for the alien race, the Vuvvs) and the rest of the population lives in Earth receiving rations by the Vuvvs and living scavenging under impoverished positions. The Vuvvs observed the humans since the 50´ where they thought the human race was in their better era, and are tiny physically limited in Earth, where they use they technology and a funny clamp rushing to make sounds as language. Their "invasion" where peacefully as they had replicators for everything, also being able to reproduce more money that the richest of Earth to create a peaceful and Vuvv cultured servent species. Humans can use little technology pieces of metal in their heads that receive and transmits images and transmissions to the Vuvvs that are especially interested in paying to see real romance between humans (and to pay for it) - another satyre to apps like TickTock, Instagram, etc. The Styrical part here is obvious against capitalism and social levels. Maybe way too obvious but not into the source that was over simplified for the target audience. Maybe some more writing and adult plot would make the movie betters (I see why Brad Pitt is one of the producers and why he saw potential on this one). Maybe like the average "Big Bug" (2022, Netflix) from the magnificent and eccentric Jean-Pierre Jeunet that went under radar. My score: 6,0 out of 10,0 / C+
