A freaky, compelling concept album of a film.
January 23, 2017
Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth features a fine performance from David Bowie and a gorgeous production design, but the story is ultimately a choppy, unfocused, and meandering mess that results in a cold and distant film.
August 25, 2011
The Man Who Fell to Earth today plays like a movie that fell from the sky, origins unknown.
August 25, 2011
The film is a more poignant (and infinitely bleaker) portrait of extraterrestrial homesickness than "E.T."
January 26, 2017
Nicolas Roeg's mid-'70s sci-fi misfire about an alien (Bowie) trying to save his planet but falling prey to Earth's temptations is self-indulgent garble with a haunting premise.

There are moments here that approach the sublime.
September 09, 2016
If you're looking for a gripping narrative then look elsewhere; enjoy the B-movie effects and crash zooms, melodramatic acting, eclectic soundtrack, Hockney-esque visuals and Bowie's effortless charisma instead.

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.
September 09, 2016
The 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.
January 13, 2016
Roeg's exuberance and invention are compromised here by a yarn that carries dank traces of Twilight Zone.
July 15, 2011
Feels like a tedious historical artifact. It's a sci-fi "Days of Wine and Roses" for the arthouse crowd.
