96/100
"This is the great calamity of The Man Who Fell to Earth. For humans, the hurt ends at death. For Thomas, it may continue on indefinitely…perhaps, forever."  DVD Verdict  Bill Gibron

4/5
"The film was made in 1976, but its message about the cutthroat realities of industry is even more relevant today"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

A-
"The casting of the androgynous-bent rock-star David Bowie as an alien was inspired."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"The Man Who Fell To Earth is mentally stimulating, adventuresome, and imaginative. "  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

9/10
"It has lost none of its ability to startle all these years later, and for that alone it deserves respect."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton

4/4
"It isn't so much the lightness of being that is unbearable as the gravity of its entropy."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
