★★★★
“Satellite is a quite wonderful little surprise. One hesitates to pigeonhole so sure and light-handed a film be referring to it as a relationship movie or a date movie, although this film year has yet to offer a better example of either.”
- Jay Carr,AM NewYork
★★★1/2
“Satellite is emotionally complex and, at the same time, captures the energetic fun of taking your sweetheart on all the rides at the carnival. If there’s a better independent date movie out there right now, I haven’t seen it.”
- Jeremiah Kipp, Slant Magazine
★★★1/2
“Unlike anything you’ve every seen... with an ending that makes you sit up in amazement.”
- North American Film Review
★★★1/2
“reckless and endearing... the feel of a big screen romantic drama.”
- Movie Habit
“a captivating romantic fairy tale for grown-ups... a springboard for the careers of its writer and director, Jeff Winner, and its smoldering star, Stephanie Szostak. ... It captures the wistful underside of the rampant materialism embraced by the young professional class. Fervently believing in unconditional love,it puts it to the test,and it passes,but just barely.After all,it is a fairy tale.”
- Stephen Holden,The NewYorkTimes
