Jordi Costa El Pais (Spain) The most valuable thing about Witness of Another World are the voice and the presence of its subject and the idea that it is unquestionable that Juan Perez experienced something overwhelming. [Full Review in Spanish] Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Janire Zurbano Cinemanía (Spain) Juan's tears will break your heart, whether or not you believe in UFOs. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Emmanuel Báez Cinéfiloz The story takes its time, and that seriousness with which the director takes the words of his subject demonstrate the respect and admiration he feels for the topic.

jack o Very moving and very well-made. I like the low-key, unsensational approach to the subject matter. Is the story true? I don't know - but it doesn't matter. This film explores some interesting ideas and is emotionally resonant. I liked it a lot. One complaint: I feel the English subtitles could have been better translated - they suffer quite a bit from "translationese", i.e. sounding stilted and unnatural in the target language. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I was profoundly moved by this documentary, and especially how the director helped Juan in many ways to overcome his fears regarding this unprecedented event. The quiet, thoughtful approach, along with the authentic portrayal of Juan's sensitive soul convinced me the story was real and needs to be shared. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best UFO documentaries ever. What I liked most and where I believe the movie triumphs is it's ability to showcase the personal impact a close encounter of a third kind could have on a human. Alan Stivelman should be applauded for this masterpiece. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I may have liked this movie better if you could read the subtitlea which were often stacked on top of each other such as "Speaking in a foreign language" appearing over the actual subtitle or it was so light and small on a light background. Frustrating. So you miss half of the important dialogue in order to understand the movie. It appeared to be an interesting story - DO SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE SUBTITLES so we can understand the important story Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
