Critics Consensus

Spaceman's poignant themes are partly brought to life by sensitive performances from a talented cast, but it fails to consistently engage with its most interesting ideas.

Audience Says

Spaceman definitely isn't for everybody, but it does a decent job of adapting a slow, cerebral story that's easier to engage with in print.

No matter how much Sandler makes the audience feel for Jakub, it can be hard to sustain an entire picture with nothing more than overarching sadness. And “Spaceman” never finds another register.

It's a little too slow and a little too philosophical.

Spaceman is ultimately Sandler’s show but it’s one astronaut movie that ultimately seems very short on rocket fuel.

[Spaceman] is an unconventional couples therapy that leaves a bittersweet aftertaste. [Full Review in Spanish]

For whatever reason, everyone in this film seems to have been instructed to speak with the lethargic, hypnotic delivery of a depressed masseuse.

4/5

Sandler mostly exhibits moments of loneliness and despair, and it is not too often that his character is seen freaking out to a high degree.

It started out pretty dry, but halfway through I realized that there was a lot of meaning to it that wasn't obvious. I believe there are many lessons to be learned and many secrets being revealed in this movie, as well as in life and the understanding of the universe!

Maybe I'm just a die-hard Sandman fan but I loved it. I watched it with a friend and by the end we both looked at each other like 'what the f' in the best way. It kinda left as stumped and thinking. Which is the best you can ask for.

Well- it could be because I’m putting my sweet family dog down in two days , and my heart is breaking over the fact that my beautiful sweet Mom died without me near her and I’m ALL KINDS OF FUCKED UP over that- but this movie was exactly what I needed tonight. There is reverence for the fallibility of humans and the pain of life and death- and the beauty in the inevitability of it all. This movie deals with TIME and SPACE - and the question of infinity will make you consider your place in this universe. Adam Sandler is one of my favourite actors- he can alternately break your heart in a drama like this or make you cringe in some of his comedies but he is always interesting , amusing and exciting. BRING IT ON ADAM!

The spider mentions having hope. If it takes a talking space spider to explain relationships to you, there is probably none for you. Same for whoever decides to have children with you. Same for a well adjusted person trying to glean anything useful from this movie.
