Toronto Film Critics Association

Is out of this world? Here's what our critics are saying. 🛸

"It’s mid-tier Spielberg, which is still better than the best work of many other filmmakers." - Peter Howell, Toronto Star

"A half-compelling, half–finished grab bag of disconnected ideas." - Jackson Weaver, CBC

"Has a political message that’s as big and obvious as that boulder chasing Indy in Raiders of the Lost Ark." Glenn Sumi, Go Ahead Sumi

"It feels a bit too binary: good guys and bad guys and very similar in tone to the family and kids in ET versus the government officials, whose mission to capture ET overruled their basic empathy, and were therefore somewhat cartoonish." - Karen Gordon, Jim Slotek

"The final act provides a timely treatise on the importance of old-school journalism and stories supported by sound reporting and verifiable facts." - Pat Mullen, THAT SHELF

"His films are crucial entries in a genre that began with the rise of science fiction." - Marc Glassman, Classicalfm
