	Author	Review
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Before 'Sputnik' settles into a run-and-gun routine that feels like business as usual, it’s a gripping and gross B-movie"	NEU
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"Abramenko doesn’t quite successfully separate his film from its 'Alien' influence, but there’s enough to keep you intrigued and longing for more monster mayhem (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"[It] works extremely well (...) The story is constantly evolving and the production quality is gorgeous (...) The plot is elegant and the acting is stellar (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"An egregious missed opportunity that bites off more formulas than it can chew (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"A loose grip on pacing and muddied internal logic battle with first-rate special effects. Oksana Akinshina (...) is certainly 'Sputnik's main asset"	NEU
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"A smart and satisfying movie, though the crashy-bashy deafening score is so loud you can probably hear it in space (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Tomris Laffly Variety	"[It] doesn’t quite deliver upon the juicy potential (...) Still, Abramenko maintains the film’s finite appeal throughout"	NEU
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Duller than it sounds (...) Suffering a bit in the charisma department, the film moves sluggishly for the hour or so that it takes to get on its feet"	NEG
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz rogerebert.com	"The performances and characterizations add heft, and the very Russian vibe of soulful heaviness sets it apart from its American cousins (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
