Reviews
"The UFOs of Soesterberg treats both the witnesses and the cynics with respect, and refuses to provide either an easy answer or a nice fantasy. An overall sense of humor keeps the film pleasant to watch"

"The meticulous storytelling and compelling interviews make this film a must-watch for both UFO enthusiasts and those curious about the mysteries that unfold in our own backyard."

"This film is an investigation into what Ufo sightings do to witnesses: the amazement, the fear, the paranoia, the obsessions, the need for closure. That is exactly what I find so fascinating about the phenomenon itself and what is neglected in most documentaries and films on this subject. Here it is the focus and even though the film contains some startling revelations, to me, that is what makes The UFOs of Soesterberg such a great documentary. Furthermore, the film is very beautifully shot, with many revealing close-ups of the witnesses, and contains fantastic animation sequences."

"An excellent documentary. Very credibly presented."

"The first Dutch UFO documentary immediately is a hit. It presents the known facts about the fascinating Soesterberg case in a balanced way and lets the witnesses tell about their experiences in their own words. No matter whether you’re a UFO skeptic or a believer, watching these stories unfold will leave you wondering about all the things in this world and possibly beyond that we still don’t have a clue about."

"I thoroughly enjoyed it. A strong piece of documentary work, of which there should be more."
