In the summer of 2002, I went to see Signs with my estranged father. I was too young to go, but a family friend who was a little older than myself had seen it and I wanted to be cool, like him. My dad hastily agreed to take me, likely out of guilt— his attempt to make amends for years of absenteeism— or to avoid hours of awkward conversation— also because of his years absenteeism. We didn’t get along. I didn’t like him and he knew that. But we went.

peak Shyamalan, really--this film is well-acted and touching and lovely, there's not one line of dialogue that feels remotely natural, and the ending is goofy as shit
