Movies that feel likeInvasion (2020)

Two years after the fall of the alien ship, the life of a young woman from Moscow has been changed forever. Her growing powers are now at the focus of both human and celestial investigation: an alien force takes an interest in her, and will stop short of nothing, including an invasion. Can love and compassion save humanity, when faced with a much greater and more demanding test this time?

If you loved Invasion, the closest films we have are Upstream Color (2013), Swades (2004) and In America (2003). All three share Invasion's contemplative and hopeful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Unthinkable (2018).
