"It's a demanding effort which will provide a challenge."

Time Out
Time Out"Feels like a tedious historical artifact. It's a sci-fi "Days of Wine and Roses" for the arthouse crowd."
—
The Washington Post
The Washington Post"There 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."
