	Author	Review
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"True originality is so rare that it’s a treat to welcome a movie as completely different and provocative as Upside Down. It’s unlike anything you have ever seen"	POS
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"'Upside Down' is such a gorgeous wreck that I could almost sense Terry Gilliam somewhere muttering, 'Wait a minute, I should have been the one to screw up this idea.' (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG

United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"At a time when so many movies look alike, and studio productions sometimes look aggressively ugly, here's a quirky vision at the intersection of sci-fi and romance"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"A very fancy piece of junk"	NEG
