"El manejo de la luz, el tono de los reflejos y el uso de colores y su temperatura es muy correcto, la puesta en escena como tal vale el pago del boleto por completo..."
Cinenganos

"Ultimately, the is-he-or-isn't-he question...is a red herring... Hollywood's little life lessons are the real point of K-PAX."
AboutFilm.com
Carlo Cavagna
3.5/4
"...a refreshingly uplifting story about the best of humanity."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
C
"Could never get over the tired script."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
1.5/4
"A confused concoction that lacks magic, poignancy, or urgency. It does, however, achieve boredom on more than a couple occasions."

0/4
"Tailor-made for the K-Mart sect,
K-PAX
is a weepy regression fantasy for the psychologically half-conscious."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez

"Kevin Spacey, consummate actor that he is, avoids the preachiness that would have resulted if, say, Robin Williams had played the part."

B
"A bizarre mix of pandering crowd-pleaser and subtly intelligent supernatural mystery"
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
2.5/5
"Although the romantic notion of presenting an irreverent soul at the heart of this film feels like a savvy commentary on the fragile human condition,
K-Pax
gets lost in its gawky chattiness."
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
C
"The slender tale has been loaded down with so much Hollywood contrivance and phony piety that it collapses under the weight."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"The overarching theme of this well-acted and spirited sci-fi drama is that we all can be medicine for one another."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3/4
"Manages to intrigue without overplotting and uplift without overmanipulating."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2.5/4
"a sweet, sometimes sly, fable about human potentials and limitations"
Q Network Film Desk

"It professes to be good for viewers by kicking them below the knee, thereby testing their sensitivity reflexes."
Matinee Magazine
Jeremiah Kipp
"Relatively entertaining and certainly easy enough to sit through."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
7/10
"This is a middle-of-the-road film with a nice message that should give its audience pause for reflection and an enjoyable evening."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
3/4
"Divertida, original y por momentos profundamente filosófica."
Moviola

"This film is just like reading a nice poem –the central image is what holds it together, rather than a compelling narrative structure."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
2.5/5
"Casting [Spacey and Bridges] against each other gives their scenes together a believability and intensity that comes directly out of their contrasting acting styles."

1.5/4
"Can't you just smell the pretension? Probably not, given the other ways in which this film stinks."
Mr. Brown's Movies

"Kevin Spacey alone is worth seeing the movie for."
Aisle Seat

4/5
"Spacey is outstanding, as always, resisting the temptation to make Prot too adorable."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
2/5
"This being a Hollywood movie, the realistic is soon left out on the curb as quickly as a Christmas tree on December 26, and as mournful-looking."

"…a sort of Cuckoo's-Nest-meets-My-Favorite-Martian that probably sounded good on paper…"
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
2.5/4
"One person in the entire movie is interesting, however, and that is Prot, thanks to another great performance by Kevin Spacey."
Laramie Movie Scope

"I had hopes for “K-PAX” but was disappointed by the routine story that breaks no ground and derives from other...works."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
"If you're not discussing this marvelous film on the ride home, you didn't pay close enough attention."
Eclipse Magazine

"The most shameless psychological quackery to come out of Hollywood since
Mumford
."

"Your enjoyment is entirely dependent on your ability to suspend disbelief."

1/4
"When Prot engages the Powell family dog in conversation, it explains the inevitable success of K-Pax: idiots speaking to simpletons in their native tongue"
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
"Despite it's cynical ending, "K-PAX" delivers a message of hope that I believe most moviegoers will welcome."
