| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Amiable, ingenious contemporary fantasy, filmed on a shoestring, about a black visitor from another planet who (like Chance in BEING THERE) impresses most of the people he meets because he doesn't say a word--and lets them do all the talking! Falls apart toward the end with a subplot about some drug dealers; but still worthwhile. Full of fine dialogue by writer-director Sayles, who, as usual, gives himself a funny role (as one of the Brother's outer-space pursuers).
