United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"A wordless wonder (...) [A] compassionate, wistfully beautiful film. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"A simplistic if beautifully rendered tale of island abandon."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Hypnotizing, entirely dialogue-free 'The Red Turtle' is a fable so simple, so pure, it feels as if it has existed for hundreds of years, like a brilliant shard of sea glass rendered smooth and elegant through generations of retelling."	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"A visually stunning poetic fable, but there's more on its mind than simply beauty."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"A quiet little masterpiece"	POS
