Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 04/10/2020
Both factions though ought to agree that this "Close Encounters" is overlong and rambling - more concerned with disconnected anecdotes than making a compelling case or telling an interesting story. Go to Full Review
Owen Gleiberman Variety 04/08/2020
As it goes on, this all becomes a marketing hook for an increasingly flaked-out fantasy. Go to Full Review
John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 04/06/2020
The pic's claims grow wilder by the minute, and its power to persuade is undercut by narration scripted like a YouTube conspiracy film. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 07/16/2020
When filmmakers present only one side of an argument in a documentary, it makes them look like they're afraid to include other ways of thinking. And that exclusion ... is a type of propaganda pushing that this documentary claims to be against. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
[It] won't make you believe any more than you do, nor will it spin too many sceptics 180, but it will help us understand the complexity of a different set of beliefs. Go to Full Review

Aldis H Nov 9 Con artist extraordinaire. Makes dogmatic statements that have no basis in reality whatsoever. The only reason he stopped being a doctor is he figured out how to make way more money and be famous by pulling the wool over gullible people's eyes. I don't discount UFO evidence that exists, but no matter what you say, it's still anomalous, and nothing can be definitively extrapolated from it, yet that's all he does, and he's been saying the same things for over 20 years, and everything is always right around the corner. Anyone who continues to buy into his BS is delusional, and he knows and exploit$ that. There's also big money in being a fascist, if you're thinking about a career change. See more ralph h 07/08/2024 It’s a very interesting presentation, to say the very least. There is definitely something going on that the government does not want disclosed. This documentary tries to give the big picture and the government’s take on this. See more Andrew P 08/04/2023 This guy is a total con artist. Why did he quit being a doctor on a good salary? Because he can earn way more conning people with all this unsubstantiated rubbish. See more Vicki T 06/13/2023 Outstanding documentary watch the lost century and how to reclaim it.. and the national press club disclosure project event aired on 6/12/23 more witnesses whistle-blowers testimony which brought me to sobing tears. Everyone must watch the lost century and how to reclaim it. Get ready to have your mind blown!!! I strongly suggest everyone watch everything you can that dr. Steven Greer has released and write your 2 senators & congressman and president asking them to support the disclosure project and free energy to save our planet. We need to get this plan implemented and moving before it's to late. See more William L 01/09/2023 It is statistically impossible for there NOT to be advanced alien life forms in the universe. All that space, all that time, all that gravity. So this explores what that might mean for humanity if that is the case. See more andrew r 11/07/2022 The dots are well connected, and things have a ring of truth, which is different from other UFO stories where some small detail always seems to taint the claim of truth.
