A thoughtful science fiction movie about humanity’s place in the universe, and a lot of other things besides.

An old-fashioned high-school flick about friendship, but one that has new ideas.

While Ripstein’s satirical approach lends an appealing bassline, his format fails to capture the victory’s emotional resonance.

Feels like lukewarm leftovers.

Herzi boldly resists the impulse to deliver a thematically easy scene.

Rehmeier cares about individuality, and he has a sense of humor.

Lotta sound and fury, but not much signifying. 

May not check off all of your boxes, but it largely succeeds on its own terms.

It’s a lurid, explicitly violent, well-acted, and preposterously plotted fever dream.

It’s a film that tries to serve two masters, and doesn’t have the power to really honor either.
