	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A serviceable Christmas-themed distraction (...) Frankly, it all seems much too complicated for what it is."	NEU
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"An unexpected charmer (...) I contains echoes of other seasonal favorites (...) while standing completely on its own (...) [Its story] is perfectly complimented by its visual style"	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"[It] has storybook charm, and the wonder lands even if the jokes don’t (...) 'Klaus' gets the sentimentality just right"	POS
United States	Steven Scaife Slant	"'Klaus' essentially becomes a metaphor for its unique and refreshing mode of expression (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Nick Harley Den of Geek	"[It offers a] visually distinctive animated entertainment that could prove enticing to kids and their parents alike (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"The big hitch is that 'Klaus' is rarely laugh-out-loud funny with its paper-thin characters (...) What does work is the snowy, hilly luster of this bygone-era fairy tale environment"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Despite the nourishing consistency of the film’s design (...) the rest of 'Klaus' is all over the map (...) None of the characters in 'Klaus' are as delightful as they are well-drawn"	NEU
United Kingdom	Edward Porter The Times	"'Klaus' is reasonably well delivered. The highly cartoony visual style is nicely retro and the story’s ending is quite sweet (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Mike McCahill The Guardian	"Solid first and third acts can’t disguise a so-so middle section stuffed with conventional story beats (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
