The Man from Earth

A compelling philosophical masterpiece for $200,000, a home video flick that, if you listen carefully and absorb the information from the beginning, catches you without you even realizing how. A very original concept and a barrage of high-level intellectual dialogues that skillfully oscillate between sufficient expertise, comprehensiveness, and sophistication, while at the same time being fast-paced, true to life, and accessible to the average conventional viewer.

I've made countless comparisons in my reviews using the word interesting, but I don't think it's ever been applied anywhere as aptly as to this film. The Man from Earth is an indescribable experience, definitely one of the most original in recent years, and it doesn't matter that it's all talk, because I've never encountered such engaging dialogue before – if I turned away from the screen once, it was only because I’d drank two litres of Kofola before the screening. I was also very pleased with the ending, it was really well done. It's hard to describe, it's something that everyone has to see (or at least hear) for themselves. (16.06.2012)

This film managed to surprise me quite a bit. Yes, it's just a conversation film that's not filmed in a great way, it could use a little better camerawork and better lighting, but the message that's being told here is pretty good. Moreover, the film has an interesting point. This was a major and nice surprise for me. (13.02.2018)
