I'm a huge sucker for movies that have really smart sensibilities about light (Villeneuve and Deakins are the reigning tag team champs at this), and Nichols and cinematographer Adam Stone do an incredible job in that arena here. I don't want to get too much into the details of it if I'm the only one here who's seen this so far, but pay close attention to mostly-dark scenes with one prominent light source, because there's a lot of super clever stuff going on there I also really enjoyed how deftly it mixed otherworldly and banal registers, with a lot of the character work focusing on salt-of-the-earth types working through situations they barely understand and bringing the audience along on that process of hopeful, halting discovery. The lived-in processes of making sense of something fantastic are all really on point - this is a movie where a child somehow intercepts coded government transmissions and repeats them as if speaking in tongues, and a cult forms around him, treating the intercepted transmissions as scripture (Spoilers for the first 15 minutes or so - about the initial setup of the movie more than specific plot events)
