The film shows a white, gun-toting family fending off strange creatures.

Krasinski is forced to explain the obvious. The film’s narrative had no political meaning. It’s a treatise on how parents will do anything to protect their children, even when “all hope looked lost,” the actor patiently said.

Granted, the critic’s take on the movie was both “hot” and foreign to what the vast majority of audiences and fellow critics noted. Why give it any credibility?

You’ll see why in a moment.
