“Bill Brown’s Roswell […] takes a fanciful look at the supposed crash of a flying saucer near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. […] Brown…seems to take the event seriously. He wonders what the craft was doing in Roswell of all places, speculating that it was piloted by a ‘star boy…joyriding through the cosmos’ who ‘got lost and lost control.’ But Brown also sees his subject playfully, as if through a child’s eyes, […] The fish-eye lens used for some landscape shots curves the horizon line, making the sky seem enclosed– navigable, traversable. In the film’s strongest image, Brown stands facing the camera with a sheaf of papers in hand, as an animated drawing of a spaceship scoots across the paper, suggesting a connection between UFO fantasies and the magical possibilities of cinema.” -Fred Camper, Chicago Reader
