A delightful sci-fi adventure that simultaneously strips the genre down to its low-tech basics and infuses it with audacious new verve. Apr 10, 2014 | Full Review…

It is so charming and sweet ... and the songs are so winning that it is impossible not to fall for it. Jul 25, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The nonsense proves good, goofy fun that works well because "History" at least acts as if it takes itself seriously, going easy on obvious ironies while dishing out catchy tunes. Jul 11, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/4

You'd be hard-pressed to find a better example of unadulterated escapism in which the craftsmanship lies not in visual polish but the universal appeal of a catchy tune. Jun 6, 2013 | Rating: A- | Full Review…

The movie could have made its points - war is bad; music is the universal language - in half the time. But the harmonies are sweet, the acoustic picking impressive. Jun 6, 2013 | Full Review…

It may not make much sense in a brief plot summary, but it makes perfect, daffy sense on the screen. May 30, 2013 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Though competently performed and brimming with enthusiasm, the sweet but slight fable-based film that results is heavily reliant upon its idea and less cognisant of its wavering cinematic execution, however it does provide moments of heartfelt comedy. Dec 4, 2018 | Full Review…

It's a well-crafted science fiction tale that will leave you with a smile on your face and a song about farming space worms stuck in your head for weeks. Nov 29, 2018 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

It's quite a low budget film but they make everything work somehow. It does help if you appreciate B movies or 1960's style Martian films. Nov 29, 2018 | Full Review…

It's a fast, cheerful and most of all resolutely cute movie, that absolutely does not demand or expect brooding or deep thought. Mar 28, 2018 | Full Review…

The result is an absolutely charming, fun, and captivating moviegoing experience-and a film that proudly wears its alien heart on its sleeve. Mar 28, 2018 | Full Review…

What I found was something better: a gentle and smart film that mines great jokes from the alienation of being a genuine alien, and which tackles relationships and family issues just as easily as it crafts catchy songs. Mar 28, 2018 | Full Review…
