Synopsis
How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2017), directed by John Cameron Mitchell, is a UK-US sci-fi comedy you can watch online on iFILM. London, 1977: three punk kids crash what they think is a house party and find themselves surrounded by aliens on some kind of intergalactic cultural exchange. Based on Neil Gaiman's short story.
Enn (Alex Sharp) falls instantly for Zan, played by Elle Fanning as a wide-eyed extraterrestrial who discovers punk music and decides it's the most alive thing she's ever encountered. Nicole Kidman shows up as a leather-clad punk impresario and commits fully to every inch of the absurdity. The film barrels through Croydon nightlife with genuine energy.
Mitchell treats the whole collision — punk rebellion versus alien ritual tourism — as a story about the brief, impossible moment when someone else's world makes more sense than your own. Messy in the best way. Stream How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2017) on iFILM.
