      Nick Allen RogerEbert.com Kahn's documentary helps us stand back and remember just how essential science is to progress. Mar 22, 2021 Full Review Eric Kohn indieWire When the telescope gets to work, it may not deliver firm answers for a world that demands instant gratification. But it will provide many reasons to keep looking up, and "The Hunt for Planet B" captures many of them. Rated: B- Mar 22, 2021 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Director Nathaniel Kahn's documentary ranges far afield from just the challenges of building the James Webb under constant threat of budgetary cuts. Mar 22, 2021 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage The Hunt for Planet B is an evocative documentary about something everyone has pondered at one time or another: is there another evolved planet beyond our galaxy? Rated: B- Mar 29, 2021 Full Review Christian Gallichio The Playlist If "Planet B" is less than a sum of its parts... it's still a wonderfully observational portrait of exploration. Rated: B+ Mar 29, 2021 Full Review Soham Gadre The Spool The interviews and questioning by the filmmakers remain a little awkward and repetitive, and the focus of the documentary wavers from time to time.
