Kevin Maher Times (UK) Formerly provocative French auteur Bruno Dumont continues his recent slide into dross with this tedious sci-fi parody set in the northern French department Pas-de-Calais. Rated: 1/5 Feb 20, 2024 Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies Character development or basic reasoning as to why one action leads to another are pointedly missing in action, but that, in many ways, is all part of the fun of this unabashedly personal cine-UFO. Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International There is little here to appeal outside the hardcore of long-term Dumont followers – and even they may decide that this starship runs out of fuel too soon. Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Martin Kudlac ScreenAnarchy Bruno Dumont's sci-fi venture might be mistaken for a hillbilly Star Wars with its evident tongue-in-cheek approach. Dumont's approach is far more ambitious ... Stands out as a rugpulling experience, a low-fi action spectacle with a high-budget execution. May 23, 2024 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film If you've ever wondered what a Star Wars pastiche by Monty Python might look like if barely any of the jokes landed then the latest film from Bruno Dumont is for you. Rated: 2/5 Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Stephen Dalton The Film Verdict French writer-director Bruno Dumont combines visually dazzling 'Star Wars' parody with small-town farce in this ambitious but muddled space opera.
