“A state-of-the-art spaceship flying at the speed of light without narrative coordinates, Buckaroo Banzai is the very oddest good movie in many a full moon.” Time Magazine
“Richter's comic genre hybrid comes complete with its own mythology, and team of established superheroes, and is curiously appealing.” Time Out
