Screen Daily
How To Talk To Girls at Parties shouldn?t work, as it feels at times like a film made by a talented student collective who overheard a ?punk vs aliens? elevator pitch. But work it does: it?s all a bit mad, but ultimately rather moving.
Indiewire
Mitchell transforms Neil Gaiman?s sci-fi short story into a vibrant, edgy and at times outright goofy statement on tough antiestablishment rebels and freewheeling hippy vibes.
The Hollywood Reporter
It takes what was at heart a relatively simple story by Gaiman, which channeled bold sci-fi imagination into relatable adolescent experience, and overcomplicates it beyond repair.
The Guardian
What an extravagantly muddled, borderline incontinent film this is. You might call it genre-hopping, except that this would imply some degree of intent and control.
Variety
The film enunciates its raw themes but never begins to figure out how to embody those themes in a narrative that could lure in the audience.
