This movie is going to be hated by a lot of people, and it will be loved.Great love story, pretty unusual and strange. Original comes to mind. Thats what makes it an awesome movie!

It got my attention in the first 30 minutes, but after that everything went down the drain. I'll just give 3 stars because of the great cast, the music and the photography.
It's true what it's said in other comments. You'll love it or you'll hate it.

While definitively unique and energetic, the movie struggles to have focus on any plot point that presents us, which is a shame 'cause there are some interesting ideas and concepts that are barely touched on: the romance (which disappointingly had very few chemistry), the aliens's different cultures, "the punk", etc.
Aside from that, the acting was decent, although is (obviously) Elle Fanning that really steals the show as well as Nicole Kidman, the soundtrack is great, both from the punk and the ambient electronic experimental alien-ish side of the music, the directing is decent, all in all is really the script that makes the film fall short, which, again, is disappointing for a film with this clear passion and effort put into.

Having read some of the other reviewers criticisms about this film I felt compelled mention some of the good points take me to enjoy this film and give it a 9. firstly whilst I normally despise anybody who says such cliches as "at least I had fun making this film" when really they mean "this film is terrible" but I really mean it when I say they the cast and crew clearly had a riot making. I fear that some people will simply not get this kind of humour, as it is very much a "League of Gentleman" style of humour (in fact Matt Lucas stars in this flick) and I absolutely loved it with the smuttier aspects of the humour. This film is a wild and wacky tribute to the 1970s and England's time of change. I felt that the film clearly highlighted some of the aspects of punk music such as the idea of being anti-capitalist and anti-establishment together with the motto of "tear it down". I feel it is what helps us become a left wing country and more welcoming to our non-British fellow people. I won't mention about how this amazing defining time in English history is now sadly crumbling because it is too political but I would be amiss to omit a nod the political ideals that this film crams into an overall entertaining endeavour.
If phrases like "this is a local shop for local people" and " this parrot is dead!" amuse you even slightly, then I feel that you will have just the right sense of humour to really grasp this film's eccentricities , for it has many, and they will not be to everybody's liking. So tread careful dear reader, for this title is can be likened to Marmite in my mind . You will either love it or hate it, but I strongly suggest you give it some time. You may grow to love it as much as I have, and I was very pleasantly surprised by my discovery of this movie. It is easily one of the better original comedy films produced recently.
