Jules Reviews
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
Simply put, there isn't enough going on in "Jules." It's a sweet but sodden trifle that's overly pleased with itself...
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Featuring sterling performances from an uncharacteristically underplaying Ben Kingsley alongside Harriet Sansom Harris and Jane Curtin, Jules emerges as a low-key delight.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
We spend most of our time with Kingsley, who makes the audience care about Milton without pandering through emotional shortcuts.
indieWire
David Ehrlich
A movie that's often too content with its own weirdness to work on any other grounds. "Jules" isn't funny enough or heartbreaking enough or anything enough to meaningfully expand on its basic idea.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's less a sci-fi parable... than a fairy tale reminding us that the tribulations of getting old are more natural than sad, and best done in the company of loved ones.
Austin Chronicle
Trace Sauveur
Ostensibly, this is a film about rediscovering one's humanity by way of otherworldly emotional connection, but the relationship between the central trio and Jules himself never feels particularly resonant.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
While watching this film, I heard someone say "What the [F-bomb]?" three times.
New York Times
Claire Shaffer
It often feels as though Turtletaub would rather you be curled up in your seat with a mug of cocoa than on the edge of it. But the sweetness isn't entirely unwelcome - not every alien movie can be "Alien."
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
The cast is a delight, especially Kingsley, whose befuddled glances make your heart swell to the bursting point once you start to realize this is but a sci-fi-laced parable on the alienation that so many mature adults experience in today's society.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
This is a low-key charmer, a kind of "E.T" for AARP, with a gentleness to the story that is very endearing.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
A compassionate character study that accomplishes what few current films do: a sweet, simple sense of wonder.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
"Jules" utilizes the alien encounter not to explore the possibilities of extraterrestrial life but to paint a portrait of life on Earth. It's a simple tale, simply told, but with a lot of heart and humanity at the center of it all.

Leonard Maltin
Jules is a slight film but an enjoyable one. I've come to value any film that offers actors I like something offbeat to add to their resumé.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
What sounds like the same old story is actually one of the year's most pleasant surprises.
Los Angeles Times
Sergio Burstein
Director Marc Turtletaub, who has a long track as a producer and finds himself within the age range of his actors, treats this theme with the correct finesse. [Full review in Spanish]
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
Sensitive, intelligent, sweet, and presented with considerable integrity, right down to the direction, which is scrupulous in not showing anything that doesn't actually need to be seen.
NPR
Bob Mondello
Director Marc Turtletaub keeps the mood light, though there's a poignant undertow to a story that's as much about being allowed to grow old with dignity as it is about an extraterrestrial.
Sioux City Journal
Bruce R. Miller
As fanciful as it may seem, "Jules" is really a comment on aging and loneliness.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
the character grows on you over time, even if he never quite achieves a real sense of emotional connection, which is why the film's heavier lifting has to be done by the subplots involving the inescapable effects of advanced age
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Quon, a Hollywood stuntwoman wearing a prosthetic suit, turns in an astonishingly moving silent performance.
