Meanwhile on Earth Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Carlos Aguilar
There's great pleasure in seeing that Clapin's first alluring foray into live-action filmmaking doesn't entirely renounce hand-drawn storytelling.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
So-so astronaut film.
CinemaBlend
Mike Reyes
The narrative is on the thin side, but the intent and main performance telling the tale remains clear eyed.
Breakfast All Day
Alonso Duralde
A really strong live-action debut from Clapin.
Spectrum Culture
Erik Reeds
It's unlikely that it will be the last we see of French director Jérémy Clapin's offerings, and with any luck, the next outing will be one with the cohesion necessary to match his clearly noteworthy ambitions.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
You never know where this is going, and they achieve a great deal with just camera angles, the score, and the pacing of it.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Andy Klein
It's very effective, quirky, and with an interesting lead performance. Sci-fi on a totally cerebral level.
Daily Dead
Matt Donato
Meanwhile On Earth is a heady, barebones experiment pushing science fiction boundaries without loudly recognizable genre landmarks.
Nightmare on Film Street
Jonathan DeHaan
Meanwhile on Earth is at its best in its quietest moments. It's a classic sci-fi approach that relies on the discussion and dissection of a situation, rather than eye-popping sequences of tractor beams and flying saucers.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
The end result disappoints, even if taken as simply a sci-fi metaphor for grief and loss. Yet it confirms Clapin, whose debut feature I Lost My Body was also very intriguing, as a significant emerging talent.
Awards Buzz
Abe Friedtanzer
The minimalist approach employed by Clapin and his artistic collaborators, including I Lost My Body composer Dan Levy, makes this film feel like a dream.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Meanwhile on Earth is beautiful, but alienating.
Next Best Picture
Tom O'Brien
Despite the screenplay turbulence that threatened to derail "Meanwhile on Earth" in Act 2, Clapin managed to land the plane with style.
RogerEbert.com
Clint Worthington
A fantastical look at the depths of heartache and what happens when we choose to turn away from a future for ourselves and live in the pain of what we've lost.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Resembling an ethereal and despondent companion piece to Jonathan Glazer's "Under the Skin," it's a genre effort that's off the beaten path-even if an invisible path is precisely what its protagonist traverses.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Small and strange, "Meanwhile on Earth" seduces with its soft, barren beauty and Dan Levy's surreal score.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
A movie that grows increasingly splintered as it goes along. Be that as it may, Clapin's singular ability to sketch the impression of loss survives the shift to live-action in a way that allows this movie to feel indivisibly honest even as it frays apart.
Slant Magazine
William Repass
The overbearing plot of the film sadly obscures the humanity of its characters.
RogerEbert.com
Robert Daniels
"Meanwhile on Earth" is a frustrating watch precisely because the elements are there, but they've been poorly configured, restricted from unleashing the freakishly bloody onslaught being teased.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
In its best moments, Meanwhile on Earth takes us beyond our desolate everyday lives to a place we can indeed dream of - and also witness on screen.
