Reviews
- "Like I Lost My Body, MEANWHILE ON EARTH is a moving elegy on the power of grief, and the lengths to which we are driven in order to feel whole."
- Screen International - "In its best moments, MEANWHILE ON EARTH takes us beyond our desolate everyday lives to a place we can indeed dream of — and also witness on screen."
- Hollywood Reporter - "Jérémy Clapin’s MEANWHILE ON EARTH is a mesmerizing work of science fiction with a magnificent performance by Megan Northman."
- Collider - "A strange, poetic, and endearingly surreal meditation on the counterintuitive ways in which we react when confronted with loss."
