Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
View MoreIt's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
View MoreI saw this film on Amazon and it was a total surprise. It's not like any other film I've seen. It really feels like the filmmaker tried to tell the teenagers stories with their own voice, not with their own. I wish more films were like this!

The new British indy "Spaceship" is among the most meaningless and morose masses of melancholia ever mish-mashed into a movie. Good GOSH these psych drug saturated sad sacks would make a damn dirge seem downright delightful.Hey Alex Taylor. It would appear you had lofty intentions whilst scripting and directing this catastrophic calamity. But in the end all you managed to muster is a miserable malaise of avant-garde posturing and pretense blown balistically out of proportion.Or more fittingly, out of this, or any other, UNIVERSE.
View MoreA challenging, unexpected meander through teenage eyes. Both hallucinatory and strangely down to earth. Genuinely unique magical viewing with a cast who feel absolutely recognisable in their disengagement with the world around them. Spaceship is a development from Alex Taylors wonderful short film Lilly Goes to Kiss Land.
View MoreA singular vision from a talented first time director, Spaceship journeys into the minds and souls of a group of teens in suburban Britain. Writer-director Alex Taylor takes a genre title, subverts it with a low-key premise, only to defy any and all expectations with a psychedelic head trip of a film, full of distinctive characters and faux-philosophical musings. A unique tone, expressive visuals and a knockout emotional finale keep things moving when the film threatens to meander into eternity.
