The Washington Post
pressFeels like a tedious historical artifact. It's a sci-fi "Days of Wine and Roses" for the arthouse crowd.
The New York Times
pressThere are quite a few science-fiction movies scheduled to come out in the next year or so. We shall be lucky if even one or two are as absorbing and as beautiful as The Man Who Fell to Earth.

pressA little dated bit Nic Roeg is always good value and David Bowie is perfectly cast.
