United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A marvel of empathy and introspection (...) The result goes deeper than 'Into the Wild' although McCandless surely would have approved."	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A unique portrait of outsider existence (...) If you ease into the pensive rhythms of Zhao's film, there's beauty, peace and even comfort to be found."	POS
United States	Peter Travers ABC News	"Chloe Zhao deserves every award imaginable (...) unique and unforgettable"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Chloé Zhao works magic with McDormand’s face and the real world around it, delivering a profound rumination on the impulse to leave society in the dust."	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang The Playlist	"A wise, beautiful film summoned up entirely from things authentically seen, felt, and thought (...) It makes you look at the sky a little differently afterward and feel connected to the vast open spaces out there in the world"	POS
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"If there were a Marlboro Woman, she might look like Frances McDormand (...) a film that feels both necessary and sublime"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"I love everything about it (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"A quietly stunning performance by Frances McDormand (...) A filmmaker at once meticulous and soulful (...) Life on the road has never been so tenderly captured, politically alive and profoundly moving (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
