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.

Austin Chronicle

Inspiring and uplifting in equal amounts, Harvey and Kummer's fangs-and-all documentary is, like its subject, one of a kind.

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

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

Sunshine State Cineplex

Despite putting on a show about an unfeeling monster that kills without remorse, the Dorset Bus Drivers create an infectiously amusing story.

Rated: 7/10
