InvaXön: Alieni In Liguria 

This coming-of-age Mexican movie is about a group of school children who fulfill their dreams.

The Cycle refuses to lean into the same old, same old monster-movie tropes and builds the entire premise around the intellect and the history of a capable, smart female protagonist.
