SPUTNIK
NARRATIVE
•••
'Effective space alien horror with a Soviet-era twist, Sputnik proves there are still some scary good
sci-fi thrillers left in the galaxy'
-- Rotten Tomatoes
'Strong performances, strikingly spare production design and somber cinematography convey a sense of something important going on. That's no small achievement in what proves to be a creature feature with flair.'
-- Wall Street Journal
'The performances and characterizations add heft, and the very Russian vibe of soulful heaviness sets it apart from its American cousins.'
-- RogerEbert.com
