Time Out -
It may be time to stop calling Nicolas Roeg's sexed-up sci-fi film that vaguely demeaning term - a cult classic - and start addressing it as what it is: the most intellectually provocative genre film of the 1970s.

The Guardian -
The story unfolds in a daring sequence of narrative leaps.

Total Film -
It’s ambitious, artful and unique. As for Bowie… what a star, man.

Time Out London -
Bowie’s performance is riveting, drawing on his history of mime to play a man who is almost, but not quite, one of us.

CineVue -
The choice of casting Bowie as Newton is inspired - the androgynous star perfectly suiting the role of the space visitor. Bowie - in his first silver-screen appearance - excels, creating a perfectly suited sense of tragedy and melancholic ambiguity.
