Stowaway is not complex, nor is it trying to be, but if you’re looking for a quick distraction that’ll leave your palms sweaty and your heart racing, then this is well worth your time.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 22, 2023

{Stowaway} completely mishandles any chance of a morality play by playing it too safe. It’s such a flat experience that it made me ponder whether the world is round after all.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 9, 2022

Stowaway is a new kind of sci-fi story - one that highlights how complicated moral concerns and true-life tragedies can be far more troubling than any of the extraterrestrial threats we’ve come to associate with the genre.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2022

“Stowaway” doesn’t break any new ground nor does it move the genre into any new directions. But it is an entertaining and assured science-fiction effort from a talented and tightly-focused filmmaker.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 17, 2022

Stowaway is a film that boasts slightly more virtues than issues.

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 17, 2022

There clearly is something special here with the mixture of great performances and legitimately intriguing morals; but rather than work to enhance this identity, the film works against itself.

| Feb 22, 2022

Stowaway is a modest work that doesn't pack much of a punch, though sci-fi enthusiasts could do worse.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 12, 2022

Stowaway is not a film for those looking for a lot of action or for an outburst of spectacular special effects. The thrill and high anxiety of space travel are still very present, but in a different way.

| Original Score: B | Feb 11, 2022

Its approach to the high stakes of its ethical dilemma gives it both intelligence and heart.

| Aug 23, 2021

These heady considerations are grounded in the film's fluent visual language [...] It's gratifying to see a film that makes a habit of conveying key information wordlessly.

Perhaps ironically for the story of a spaceship blasting into space on an irrevocably accelerated course, Stowaway struggles to build momentum.

| Jul 14, 2021

A small-budget space film asking moral questions about a dangerous journey undertaken.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 29, 2021

Without being dazzling, without pretending to be disruptive, based on a fairly classic narrative, it fulfills its objective with poise and conviction. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 22, 2021

What should be a compelling moral dilemma never really becomes one.

| Jun 14, 2021

If the contrived script ... falls short, then it's [the action's] brute competence from Penna, buttressed by the charismatic cast, that mostly manages to save the day.

| Jun 6, 2021

The film's blessed with a talented cast, but they never really feel like a crew on screen. Much of the deep space action feels like a stage play with a cast of cold characters.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 17, 2021

A film that is ideal for those looking for substance and not just tricks. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 17, 2021

I will praise the ending for delivering a beautifully human moment, one that it had set up from the beginning - I just wish the build-up to that moment had better bones.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | May 15, 2021

Although the film's main focus isn't zero-g action or space adventure, Stowaway gets suspenseful, including a heart-pounding set piece outside the ship.

| May 12, 2021

More rumination on difficult choices than space thriller, but it does provide food for thought.

| Original Score: C+ | May 10, 2021
