	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"If any of these characters were half as resonant as Wenders appears to think they are, the film might have seemed charming instead of merely stranded."	NEG
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"Ultimately flawed but curiously captivating to those who are fond of the slightly bizarre (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	David Stratton Variety	"This curious existential film noir will fall into a limbo between mainstream and arthouse fare (...) the superb craftsmanship and cultish aura can’t compensate for an underdeveloped and not very interesting story"	NEU
United States	Jonathan Foreman New York Post	"Pretentious and trite in a way that you can get away with in a rock song or a music video, but that becomes almost unbearably irritating in a full-length feature."	NEG
United Kingdom	Time Out	"Gibson's obscure, obsessive stiffneck is alienating rather than intriguing; the plot goes nowhere, convolutedly; and the soundtrack's limp"	NEG
