	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"This is Pacino's best film performance in years. (...) he reveals with mordant wit the terrors of diminished capacity. To watch him do it is a master class. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"Fronted by a vibrant, deeply committed Al Pacino performance and very fine support from Greta Gerwig [it's an] uneven but captivating film."	POS
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A savage mixture of tragi-comedy gets its act together midway and becomes entertaining."	NEU
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"The movie is too shrewd to qualify as a jeremiad, but underneath the comedy are boiling undercurrents of anger and despair."	POS
United States	Kaleem Aftab IndieWire	"[An] uneven adaptation of Philip Roth's penultimate novel (...) It's main accomplishment was that it avoided being pretentious."	NEU
