Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The most intellectually provocative genre film of the 1970s.
– Joshua Rothkopf,
Time Out New York,
22 Jun 2011
rotten:
Feels like a tedious historical artifact. It's a sci-fi "Days of Wine and Roses" for the arthouse crowd.
– Michael O'Sullivan,

fresh:
Bowie's screen debut still fascinates whenever he's on-screen, and it's full of little reminders of how much has changed since the movie was made.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,

fresh:

The Man Who Fell to Earth today plays like a movie that fell from the sky, origins unknown.
