'The Becomers' Review: 'Body Snatchers' Marries 'The Lovebirds' in Zach Clark's Alien Rom-Com
Briefly

"In 'The Becomers', alien terror collides with a cascading case of mistaken identity, where genderless extraterrestrials must assimilate through a revolving door of skin-suits before finding each other."
"Clark's latest is more candy-tart than saccharine-sweet, exploring themes of complex grief through a lens of seismic loss, demanding processing both alone and as a couple."
"The scared-but-still-smitten aliens spend the first third of the film apart, which adds sharp flecks of sci-fi melancholia, giving this horror-comedy enough special sauce to still enjoy."
"The amoral bystander enacts a brutal murder while acting not at all like themselves, showcasing the transformation that occurs through alien possession and the surrealism that follows."
