Kontakt

Den är snyggt filmad, med Zemeckis fantastiska känsla för övergångar och i mitt tycke en av Jodie Fosters bästa filmer.

There are few actresses better suited to the lead role than Jodie Foster, whose rigorous intelligence radiates not only from her cool eyes but practically from her capable fingertips themselves.

We've long grown accustomed to the movies telling us we are not alone, but Contact is the first film to take the answer as seriously as the question.

The strength of "Contact" is in the way it engages in issues that are relevant today, and still only rarely discussed in the movies.

Big on plot and small in the CG-stuffed, city-levelling, alien department, Contact is a science-fiction film with a difference.
