"We are living things" courageously showed the dark side and hardships of two new immigrants life. Something we don't get to see and perhaps prefer to ignore its existence in real life. It demonstrated that language does not form barriers and true love can sparked between anyone under any circumstance. I was reminded again that humans should be grateful that we are living things.

[We Are Living Things offers] a truly original angle on tropes associated with immigrant stories.

New York Times

Tibaldi and his co-writer, Àlex Lora, do much with little, and one is likely to finish with more questions than resolutions — fitting for a film about various forms of alien life.

If these troubled sequences were handled sensitively and the themes were explored properly, perhaps We Are Living Things could have left viewers with one message: everyone needs to be treated equally.

We Are Living Things follows a dark and eerie journey into the mysteries of human attachments. The film exquisitely fuses noir and science fiction elements to establish a dangerous yet beguiling mood.

Rated: 3.5/5

Chris Knight

National Post

There’s more than a little of Close Encounters’ DNA in We Are Living Things, a low-key drama about two people searching for a truth they know is out there.

Rated: 3/5

Avi Offer

NYC Movie Guru

Well-shot and refreshingly understated, but lethargic, underwhelming and ultimately less than the sum of its parts.
