Reviews
|
Boston Globe -
Overall the results are amiable, if also slack and talky.

|
The Playlist -
There seems like there could have been quite the stylish biopic in Rapkin’s version of events, but the telling is underwhelming, making this film a continuous stream of possibilities that are never opened or explored.

|
Los Angeles Times -
While a fictionalized account of Lee’s career certainly held some sex, drugs & rock ’n’ roll potential, the blandly pedestrian film Spaceman seldom delivers despite an engagingly game lead performance by Josh Duhamel.
|
|
The New York Times -
The effort is commendable, but the execution is rocky.
|
|
Village Voice -
Throughout the film, the wrong characters are in focus, inexplicable close-ups abound, and Rapkin’s got the camera on rails, moving and panning for seemingly no reason.
