Peter Debruge Variety While I'm glad Kummer's camera was there to capture it, the movie doesn't reveal enough about the performers' backgrounds or personalities. Mar 31, 2021 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Inspiring and uplifting in equal amounts, Harvey and Kummer's fangs-and-all documentary is, like its subject, one of a kind. Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Jude Dry indieWire By the triumphant curtain call, as young Scott trots onstage for a very professional bow in full Xenomorph garb, it's clear "Alien on Stage" has completely captured the hearts of the audience - film, theater, and Christopher Guest lovers alike. Rated: A Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast The sheer audacity of just the attempt of pulling this off is worth the joyous trip. The fact that they do to thunderous applause practically makes this a historic document. Rated: 3/4 Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills A genial documentary... Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Dallas King Flick Feast A delight for Alien fans, this was a true labour of love. At a time when the Arts is under threat from a force more dangerous than any Xenomorph [the film] shows just how important the medium is in providing entertainment, joy & bringing people together. Rated: 5/5 Nov 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
