Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Never overstays its welcome and builds up to its shocks by having us get to know Harry and Ruth before it turns the tables on the audience Rated: 3/4 Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Jordan Hoffman AV Club If for some reason you haven’t pulled the trigger on Shudder and want to get more out of a Paramount+ subscription, this is better than just staring at a blank wall. Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Natalia Winkelman New York Times The film’s modest facade proves a smoke screen for a rich and eventful ride; one plot development in particular hits with such surprise that it catches the audience far more unawares than the characters. Oct 7, 2022 Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It A surprising science fiction thriller that serves original twists you won’t see coming. Oct 14, 2023 Full Review Matt Pais MattPais.com Simply not enough in nearly every category. Rated: C Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Dave Golder Radio Times Those who make it through the interminable first 45 minutes are unlikely to care who kills whom in the climactic face-off. Rated: 2/5 Dec 9, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member It sucks! The movie isn't scary, dramatic, funny, nothing. It transmits no emotions whatsoever. Don't event bother watching it. The end is the girl killing the alien but then the alien just comes back to life after she left 🤨 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Jeff T It was great until it went nuts. Too goofy for me! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review J L Horrible movie. Huge waste of time. Beware!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Spike D Uneven pacing and goofy tone shifts don't make Significant Other a complete waste of time, but they do defang what could have been a promising addition to the alien horror subgenre. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Green C Interesting, weird, unique storyline. Lacy is terrific. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Michael F If you looked at the ratings and say, oh this looks good, you are in for a surprise. Starts off really great. Suspenseful and interesting. Then Harry comes back from being thrown off a cliff and is an alien, and it just gets stupid. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
