What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith  film of the week | 15 |  |
| Die Burger Laetitia Pople Dié fliek met sy uitstekende spel en karakterisering, smeek om 'n vervolg. | 20 | |
| Cape Times Kirk Honeycutt Savvy film making of the highest order | 20 | |
| Box Office Tim Cogshell An Alien invasion movie that is intense, graphically novelistic (though it’s an original story) and just funny enough to keep you thoroughly entertained, even while the subtext is of a very serious nature. | 13 |  |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert District 9 does a lot of things right. | 15 | |
| eye Weekly Adam Nayman A well-shot but banal hybrid of Halo (super-cool weapons blasting away in a ruined landscape) and E.T. (the aliens just want to go home). | 10 |  |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs Pulls the viewer along for what turns out to be a fairly engaging, exciting and both eye and mind-opening cinematic experience. | 14 | |
