The Illegal Alien (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Alien Perez Cruz fled from Cuba to the last nation willing to give him paperwork, Uruguay. He is among an exodus that in the last three years has seen over thirty thousand Cubans flee through the jungles of Guyana and Brazil on their way to a better life. In Uruguay, Alien is looking for a future where he can provide for his family. But at home, his family tells a different story. This is the story of a Cuban who risked it all, and the people who supported him that he had to leave behind. It's the story of Alien.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
