B-
"Quirky urban spaceman comedy, that's only moderately funny and observant."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"Affirms the triumph of conscience and community over death dealers of all stripes. "  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"An excellent example of what can be achieved with a very small budget and a good screenplay."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  James O'Ehley

4/5
"Writer-director John Sayles' low-budget, high-concept fable is smart, sensitive sci-fi."  Netflix  James Rocchi

5/5
"Joe Morton gives a great silent performance."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

"The principle character is an embellished creation, and serves to exaggerate peoples’ intolerance – fundamentally, he is the most removed of Sayles’ characters."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor

3/4
"brave and pure and an unlikely (though oddly appropriate) introduction to the first film of Sayles' middle period: Matewan."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
