Boys Go to Jupiter Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
There has to be more to insightful absurdity than having an alien food influencer singing a review of to-go spaghetti.
Hammer to Nail
Jessica Baxter
It's hardly the first film to depict that nebulous, confusing, and sometimes scary period betwixt teenhood and adulthood. But it feels fresh in so many ways. This one has sleeper classic written all over it.
North Shore Movies
Daniel M. Kimmel
Utilizing an animation style that's a cross between the '60s television cartoon "Davey and Goliath" and the modern "South Park," it is what some might call "surreal." That's a polite way of saying it's an incoherent mess.
Cambridge Day
Oscar Goff
"Boys Go to Jupiter" is one of the most charming, affecting and utterly singular animated films of the year.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
Writer/director/producer/animator Julian Glander has clearly done all kinds of research to make something feel as cohesive as this, while also doing what's needed to nurture this bizarre story so that it can deliver with maximum efficiency.
WBUR’s Arts & Culture
Sean Burns
It's like a Jim Jarmusch movie for little kids.
In Review Online
Dhruv Goyal
Admirably strange... [but] dampened by the layer of Sundance-approved quirk that shellacs the final product. What remains is begrudging admiration and a respect for the film's form.
Splice Today
Stephen Silver
A parody of gig economy hustle culture, featuring a combination of humans, aliens, and other creatures, as well as the voices of a long list of respected actors and alt-comedians
The Playlist
Brian Farvour
Stepping back from the canvas to take in the entirety of "Boys Go to Jupiter" results in something just as unusual as when viewed close-up, but nonetheless worthy of a trip into the world Glander has built. It's surreal, sure. It's also fascinating.
Next Best Picture
Sara Clements
In the end, "Boys Go to Jupiter" may not fully stick the landing, but it's a bold, vibrant, and unmistakably personal work of animated cinema. It won't be for everyone, but like any great piece of outsider art, it doesn't try to be.
Chicago Reader
Micco Caporale
It could be more adventurous, but what Boys Go to Juper lacks in teeth it makes up for with heart-and that's just fine for a cultural moment when everything outside the movies has audiences going fangs out.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
This is a goofy, amusing, and colorful exercise that visually recalls Gumby creator Art Clokey's stop animations, though it was actually made using the same software program that birthed last year's very different-looking Oscar winning Flow.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
The filmmaker's quiet confidence unites what might otherwise seem like a grab bag of bits.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Glander lampoons the 'burbs of Florida and has attracted an impressive vocal cast - Miya Folick, Cole Escola, Eva Victor, Julio Torres and more - for an animated breath of fresh air that creatively skewers America's capitalistic ways.
Seattle Times
Chase Hutchinson
It will never be to all tastes, but to those who find themselves on its wavelength, it couldn't be sweeter.
IndieWire
Christian Zilko
One of the freshest films of 2025, brilliantly juxtaposing the endless creative opportunities afforded to us by digital art with the anxiety of a generation that often feels like its own real-world opportunities are becoming fewer and further between.
Variety
Carlos Aguilar
As wonderfully funny as "Boys Go to Jupiter" is, what makes this micro-production superior to macro-budget studio features is the heartfelt melancholy about the future the hero conveys, which it provides with class consciousness to boot.
New York Times
Natalia Winkelman
Here is a movie notably unafraid to manifest the weirdest of the weird, no matter what the Mr. Moolahs of the world have to say.
AV Club
Toussaint Egan
A surreal sci-fi adventure, yes, but it's also a surprisingly poignant coming-of-age story about taking the time to slow down and ask big, important questions instead of hyperfocusing on quick cash as the end-all, be-all solution to restlessness...
Slant Magazine
Steven Nguyen Scaife
Julian Glander powerfully channeling the ennui of his characters with images of everything from vacant parking lots to empty swimming pools.
