"Lifted" is a comedy about an alien taking a test in the flying object. The alien is taking a test of controlling the person to get him into the object. He tries to control the sleeping man, but it doesn't go well. As the examiner stares at him, he gets so anxious and nervous. This film is interesting in that we can see how aliens feel anxiety about taking the test just like us. The alien's situation is what we face in our daily life, so we come to feel like cheering for him. The contrast of two aliens' facial expressions is one of the elements that we can enjoy in the film.

The examiner's face is expressionless, in contrast, the examinee's face changes often. It is a little tiring to see his failure so many times. However, it expresses the reality we face in general, so we can still enjoy it. Also, the music goes well with the scenes, and it helps us watch the film comfortably. Therefore, I recommend people to watch this film because of these reasons.

The reason we can enjoy it is that the woman's facial expression is rich. Her face is not only charming, it changes clearly. We can see how she feels at the time by her facial expression. This is one of the reasons I highly recommend this movie. Moreover, it is amazing that we can enjoy this film even though the woman does not speak - only the two men have dialogue. Therefore, I recommend this film as the woman's facial changes makes us curious about what happens next.
