Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeThe film has turned out to be prophetic, and, in so doing, demonstrates one of the wonders of great films: their ability to mean different things at different times.
Time Out - 10/10 by Joshua RothkopfIt may be time to stop calling Nicolas Roeg's sexed-up sci-fi film that vaguely demeaning term - a cult classic - and start addressing it as what it is: the most intellectually provocative genre film of the 1970s.
Low IQ Canadian - 10/10 by Martin ScribbsImaginative sci-fi elements and intense performances ruined by leaden pacing.
Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe Man Who Fell To Earth is mentally stimulating, adventuresome, and imaginative.
Total Film - 10/10 by James MottramIt’s ambitious, artful and unique. As for Bowie… what a star, man.
Times (UK) - 10/10 by Kate MuirThe real story is less about the sci-fi and more about the weirdness on Earth, a woozy dream of greed and alcohol and betrayal, as the gentle Newton is preyed upon by hucksters and the American government.
The Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawThe story unfolds in a daring sequence of narrative leaps.
What Culture - 10/10 by Ed WhitfieldYou cried when the Earth nearly killed E.T but he got to make a friend and go home. Our home becomes Bowie's home and the result is a broken spirit. Imagine Spielberg making something like that.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 10/10 by David GrittenOne has to say this for The Man Who Fell to Earth: such a bold, imaginative work would never get made in today's fettered, cautious film industry, either here or in America. Roeg's work may have its faults - but its ambition is beyond reproach.
Eye for Film - 10/10 by Jennie KermodeNicolas Roeg's epic story of an alien who loses his way on Earth is such an enormous, sprawling and complex piece of work that it's difficult to know where to begin.
