La Estatuilla

It doesn't explore the religious group in depth, but does provide an understanding of its power of attraction. [Full review in Spanish]

Matt Cipolla

The Film Stage

Shamir dillies through this group without a large or meaningful enough context, even if he's more empathic than one might expect.

Rated: C+

Katie Duggan

Film Daze

The Prophet and The Space Aliens doesn't live up to the full wacky wonder that its title suggests, or take us to another dimension. But it does present a fascinating portrait of a powerful religious leader who remains a cipher.

AIPT

A light hearted documentary about a religion built by a man who saw aliens. Not about exposing a hoax, but what makes people believe. (No, it is not Scientology.)

Rated: 6.5/10

Boston Hassle

One can't deny the loony spectacle of the whole thing, and some scenes ... must be seen to be believed.
