"For the most part V feels like a slightly full-of-itself riff on tropes that have been done elsewhere with more intelligence and panache." - Tim Durand, San Francisco Chronicle
"The ideas in V, about alien encounters and mass delusion and media manipulation, are enticing. It’s too bad that they’re floating around in a film that is so slapdash and formulaic in its storytelling." - Mike Stotts, Portland Tribune
"Like he did with The Prisoner, John Malone has taken a show towards the back of the public television memory and made an intricate and compelling genre film out of it." - Tony Klesko, San Diego Union-Tribune
