	Author	Review
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"Unbalanced, unwieldy, and at times nearly unintelligible, 'Aloha' is unquestionably Cameron Crowe’s worst film."	NEG
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"'Aloha' is such an inchoate mess, such a forced, insular, self-pleasing misfire, that plotting it out can be a challenge."	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"While I can't make any excuses for “Aloha” (...) I can leaven my disappointment with mercy. (...) I enjoyed “Aloha” the way you can enjoy a catch-up beer with an old friend you don't have much in common with anymore."	NEU
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"With the screenplay’s strained whimsy and pathos, not to mention its unpersuasive, at times incoherent musings on the politics of space exploration, Crowe squanders the star power at hand."	NEG
United States	Greg Cwik IndieWire	"Equally hobbled by an amateurish script and vaguely defined characters."	NEG
United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"The film alternates between shoving its confusing plot forward and dropping dialogue bombs that fizzle. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"The deepest understanding we get of any of these characters is that none of them would say the things that Crowe makes come out of their mouths."	NEG
