United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Chilling and unforgettable (...) [Frei] uses a keen and measured observational style (...) The film throws into question the simplistic notion of mercenary selfishness versus the purity of science."	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"A fascinating, sometimes frightening film (...) A wistful score adds to the sense of wonder and foreboding"	POS
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"While the sights and sounds here are unique, the movie seems frustratingly torn about whether to buy the futurism and mysticism it’s selling."	NEU
United States	Simon Abrams rogerebert.com	"[It] asks viewers to make assumptions about the character of several of its subjects (...) based on incomplete or vague insinuations. This movie doesn’t work well as an edifying documentary (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"'Genesis 2.0' abounds in fascinating subject matter, which the filmmaker rushes through with the haphazard eagerness of a student who’s trying to finish an exam in time (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
