"Contemplative, with lofty ideas, abstract animations, and a strong payoff. Sorta like a cartoon reinterpretation of the beginning of Contact." Ain’t It Cool News
"“That glove carries with it everything that went into the making of it,” said Britto, whose previous film, “Yearbook,” was a meditation on the impermanence of human achievement. “Whereas ‘Yearbook’ says we’re all going to be forgotten and this doesn’t really matter, ‘Glove’ is saying that even though we can’t tell how far our actions and the things we make will go, they do have an impact on things and will go on forever.”" The Wrap
"“True story: an astronaut’s glove has been floating in space for nearly 50 years, and I didn’t know I wanted to see a film about that topic until Bernardo Britto and Alexa Lim Haas’ Glove (U.S.), which screened at Sundance and won the animation jury prize at SXSW." Cartoon Brew
