	Author	Review
United States	Boyd van Hoeij Variety	"Another heady mix of peculiar occurrences, anthropological and Freudian insights into the human species and contempo society, and a particularly wicked sense of humor"	POS
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Lanthimos’s caustic fourth feature, is as bizarre and elliptical as Dogtooth and Kinetta, and like its offbeat predecessors has an inexplicable power to draw the viewer into its hermetic web of inhuman relationships"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Papoulia (an intense, quietly magnetic actress who also appeared in 'Dogtooth') brings an emotional ferocity that prevents the film from turning into an arch intellectual game"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"I was drawn hypnotically into the weirdness (...) Although 'Alps' is provocative and challenging, it is so completely self-contained that it has no particular emotional payoff (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"[An] splendidly icy picture (...) Lanthimos knows exactly where he's going (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Oliver Lyttelton IndieWire	"Another unique and remarkable film from director Yorgos Lanthimos (...) Lanthimos continues to prove himself a supremely controlled, disciplined filmmaker"	POS
United States	Keith Uhlich Time Out	"Puzzling and provocative, 'Alps' has a lingering power and an effect that is thrillingly difficult to define."	POS
Canada	Kurt Halfyard Screen Anarchy	"Derivative is a word that Greek auteurs do not know."	POS
