I’d like to tell you exactly what No One Will Save You is about, but there isn’t a right answer. Director Brian Duffield’s alien abduction horror-thriller has no dialogue and multiple endings that contradict each other. The movie isn’t merely “open to interpretation”; it’s a litmus test made of blobs of body horror.
The director agrees. When Polygon spoke with Duffield at length about the film’s repeated contortions of reality and its surprise endings, he said, “I wanted to play fair, but at the same time, I wanted Reddit to have fun.”
OK, reader; let’s have fun.
I will share two interpretations of the movie. Neither are “officially correct,” but both, I feel, can be sufficiently supported with evidence.

No One Will Save You is about the plight of the millennial.
Our heroine, Brynn, is the human embodiment of the millennials, dressing like Zooey Deschanel, working as an Etsy artist, and decorating her home with a cottagecore aesthetic that would kill on Pinterest. She can only afford this house because it’s been bequeathed to her by a wealthy parent. She has no friends in the real world, and boomers hate her. She doesn’t have any history of blogging, but she has been writing notes to herself for at least 10 years. So, close enough.
Brynn carries a personal trauma from a climactic childhood moment that is borderline biblical, and the film offers her — in the place of talk therapy and fluoxetine — a healthy dose of Third Encounters through which she can learn to live with herself.
