We spoke to "Elio" stars Zoe Saldaña, Yonas Kibreab, and Brad Garrett, alongside co-directors Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian, about finding the heart and humanity in sci-fi stories.

Directed with vigor and dashes of humor and emotion by Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi (“Turning Red”) and Adrian Molina (co-director of “Coco”), “Elio” is laden with Easter eggs and has a killer end-credit bonus scene and pays snappy homage to numerous sci-fi films (“Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” amongst others).
