Mars One Reviews
The Film Stage
John Fink
Mars One, Gabriel Martins moving drama of working-class social realism, begins with the election of Jair Bolsonaro, but to the family at the center of the film, hes a minor figure in an otherwise world of extreme inequalities in Rio.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A heartfelt tale about an economic struggling Black Brazilian lower-middle-class family.
Tilt Magazine
Christopher Cross
Mars One is a wonderfully heartfelt story that features a family that you want to spend more time with even after the film ends.
RogerEbert.com
Marya E. Gates
The hopeful vibe and warmth with which Martins tells his story and the strong bond of the four actors at its center cement the film as a real crowd-pleaser.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
A delightful, joyous celebration of the unbreakable bonds that keep us tethered through the most challenging of times.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
This is a film filled with struggle that never feels maudlin, hope that never feels forced.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
[A] good-hearted, optimistic, oddly old-fashioned film...
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Essentially an old fashioned tale in which the pursuit of dreams needs to be balanced by learning to appreciate what one has.
Nashville Scene
Joe Nolan
The ensemble acting is a highlight here, and the writing choices defied my expectations in the best way. Kudos to Martins for giving us a plot about people instead of a polemic about politics.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
There's an engaging naturalism here, even as "Mars One" drifts into melodrama in the ways each character's world is upended and their crisis is introduced.
Next Best Picture
Cody Dericks
It's a sweet film that doesn't hesitate to put its characters in realistically dire situations that would unbalance anyone's life, and yet it still manages to remain compelling and ultimately quite moving.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Writer/director Gabriel Martins...gives us something old and something new with Brazil's submission for the 2023 International Oscar, a straightforward family drama full of heart with a suggestive sprinkling of magical realism.
New York Times
Amy Nicholson
Martins intended to hold up the billion-dollar space colonization project as a symbol of hope. Since then, it's gone bankrupt, and the disillusionment only deepens this film about the struggle to feel satisfied on earth.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
Inverting a political cliché is one way the film pleasingly subverts audience expectations; depicting people as complex beings rather than mere symbolic types is another. They add up to a heartfelt slice-of-life story.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
A big pumping heart of a movie...
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
While this is a family drama, it is foremost a Brazilian family drama and, as such, director Martins brings us into a uniquely distinct environment. Through the Martins family's eyes, we see local life and celebration in a very specific Brazil way.
TheWrap
Carlos Aguilar
By slowly introducing each of the four family members' individual concerns in a mostly seamless manner, Martins immerses the viewer in his deftly written, multifaceted story of interpersonal growth.
indieWire
Jude Dry
Mars One nimbly centers each of its four main characters, elegantly weaving their stories into a poignant familial whole. All relatable, flawed, and charming in their own ways, they antagonize each other without anyone losing their humanity.
Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Mars One revels in the lives of its characters, taking a leisurely and scenic route to understanding their dreams and realities.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Mars One thoughtfully presents a realistic dramatic portrait of a Brazilian family of four people going through transitions on how they view themselves and what they really want out of their lives.
