	Author	Review
United States	Rob Hunter Film School Rejects	"It succeeds brilliantly in bringing its themes of wonder and despair to a new medium (...) The mental and emotional anguish are appropriately devastating"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"This is arresting, frequently unsettling, cinema (...) In terms of design – both production and sound – this is a remarkable achievement."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"This ambitious Swedish production has in its favor a provocative premise and a pronounced visual style. But the characters are uninteresting (...) It’s a film that wants to be visionary but isn’t."	NEU
	Vassilis Economou Cineuropa	"'ANIARA' successfully manages to shift between different subjects and stimulate viewers’ awareness and curiosity"	POS
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"Kågerman and Lilja bring Martinson’s poem to cinemas with a stark beauty both in its sci-fi production design and emotionally wrought performances (...) A fascinating character study"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It] provides a narrative as satisfying as its conception is ambitious (...) [It] is both impressive in its scope and intimate in its portrait of human nature under long-term duress."	POS
United States	Alex Billington First Showing	"This film is AMAZINGLY good, perhaps the best indie sci-fi I've seen since 'Arrival', perfectly executed and invigorating in its rigorous sci-fi storytelling."	POS
