Critical reception
Variety wrote, "Film boasts a solid and well-chosen cast, strong physical values for such a medium-scaled item, and a racial story [from a novel by David Stuart Leslie] delivered with unhysterical acumen and, at times, with considerable barbed humor."[3]
gollark: > is a old welding mask good to use on a blue/purple lazer?no.
gollark: Spirit knows everything, thus making him very helpful.
gollark: Also, protestors tend to be in groups and blaming all of them for some subset doing things is problematic.
gollark: > So thanks i got what I need, for spirit, not killing civilians, but at least giving them the means to defend themselves if needed. And any person who can take away another human beings sight and sleep at night is far from humanThis is, well, "emotional", in that you can't really go around rigorously demonstrating/defining this sort of thing.
gollark: *he says, after making an emotional appeal about 20 messages before*
