Marc Turtletaub has produced some of the best independent films over the last 25 years. He's responsible for hits like Little Miss Sunshine, Safety Not Guaranteed, The Farewell, and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Turtletaub steps behind the camera as a director for only the third time in Jules, a sci-fi comedy loaded with heart. Sir Ben Kingsley stars as Milton, an aging widower with dementia. A spaceship crashes into his backyard, and he discovers a diminutive injured alien by the smashed azaleas. Instead of being afraid and suspicious, Milton nurses the alien back to health.
