	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"'First Light' doesn’t invent anything new, per se, but somehow, in splicing elements from other movies, it fails to achieve the emotional core of its own formula."	NEG
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Shoots for the stars but never quite gets off the ground (...) [It overstates] the profundity of typical adolescent experience while minimizing the significance of a civilizational shift."	NEG
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"There is no personality to the script or the execution, which is concerned more with looking legitimate than taking any chances."	NEG
