A Space Program Ratings & Reviews
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
I'll pass on this trip to Mars.
Brooklyn Magazine
Jeremy Polacek
A Space Program: The Movie, and Sachs's work in general, is resourceful, cheeky, and fun.
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
The picture follows both the development of the project as well as the audience as they were guided through it, and it's significant it was an event meant to be enjoyed by the general public, and not just wasted on Burners.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
The film is both a testimonial to and a send-up of the all-American can-do spirit, and a salute to what Sachs and Neistat call the "analog era."
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
A disarmingly delightful out-of-this-world trip.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"A Space Program" may find cheeky humor in our quest for meaningful science. But it certainly hints that there's something worshipful in the details.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A whimsical documentary on a performance art/sculpture about sending two women astronauts to Mars.
New York Times
Daniel M. Gold
As a tribute to NASA, "A Space Program" is rich in the core elements that have always propelled humanity's flights of fancy: imagination and the right tools.
The Film Stage
John Fink
A Space Program offers a vision of what The Martian might look like as directed by the heroes of Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind.
Variety
Nick Schager
An alternately entrancing and amusing documentary-fiction hybrid that marries existential questions with absurdist humor.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
The result is something like the best science-fair project ever, an inviting performance piece that tasks viewers with the pleasurable, imaginative engagement that more seamless special effects deny.
Austin Chronicle
Andy Campbell
Neistat and Sachs give us a throwback to the special effects of cinematic yore -- think of the string and miniature models of planets used by Ed Wood, or Méliès.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Neistat stays true to his subject's oddball sensibility, right down to the hand-lettered credits that crank slowly across the screen after the mission's end.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
The film's larger purpose, be it about the ardor of handmade crafts or artist Tom Sachs's artistic ambitions, never emerges with any consistent focus.
