In Disclosure Day, a government whistleblower and a local journalist race to expose the existence of aliens and the conspiracy to cover it up. Shawn Edwards, film critic for FOX4 News in Kansas City and co-founder of the African American Film Critics Association, calls this the third act in Spielberg's “space invaders” trilogy, dating back to Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial. “Unlike those two previous films, Disclosure Day has much loftier ambitions, and Spielberg, who’s the master of making small stories ginormously big, doesn’t quite stick the landing,” Edwards says. “It isn’t groundbreaking, but it works for the images you see on screen.” Angelica Jade Bastién, film critic for New York Magazine, loved it. “I thought it balanced action with a spiritual and existential curiosity,” Bastién says. “I found it visually elegant, and one of the greatest aspects of the movie to me is it reawakened my belief in what a good blockbuster can do.” They also review The Furious, Find Your Friends, and The Little Sister.
