	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"A mostly fun, often craftily constructed dystopian thriller (...) For all of its faults, there’s still plenty here to praise (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Foster finds the damaged, self-medicating core of her character, but she's undercut by the stubborn flatness of the drama, despite its originality and smarts."	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"It boasts snappy dialogue, memorable characters, and a gorgeously designed central location but doesn’t quite know what to do with any of the above."	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"Pearce is also well-versed in staging and shooting decent action scenes, and building suspense enough to keep 'Hotel Artemis' diverting in its overstuffed ambition."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"'Hotel Artemis' struggles to sustain even the most basic level of intrigue, suspense, or entertainment value (...) Pearce doesn’t find the insight required to find anything useful"	NEG
United States	Rafer Guzmán Newsday	"Thoroughly entertaining, well-crafted (...) This action-fantasy has a noirish personality all its own (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"Messy, dumb, but occasionally entertaining (...) It’s all strangely watchable (...) Pearce’s screenplay serves up too many aphoristic baubles"	NEU
United States	Marshall Shaffer Decider	"[It] has all the pieces in place for something special but can’t quite seem to connect any of the dots"	NEG
Canada	Barry Hertz The Globe and Mail	"[It] manages to make the most intriguingly bonkers premise a boring and flat exercise (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"There’s some fun in discovering the rules of this hotel (...) 'Hotel Artemis' can’t sustain the novelty of its initial world-building."	NEU
