	Media	Author	Review
		David Opie Empire	"[A] heart-warming, old-fashioned storytelling —anchored by Ewan McGregor's finest performance in years (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"It can be funny at times, deeply sad at others, and occasionally even surprising"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"A sweetly touching adaptation of the bestselling book that explores the quest for humanity and connection even under the strangest of circumstances within an authoritarian regime"
		Jack Seale The Guardian	"This charming period drama sees McGregor on sparkling form. He's an intoxicating, swaggering figure of delight (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Not deep, but full of modest pleasures and solid performances"
		Christina Izzo AV Club	"Ewan McGregor delights as a dandy trapped in a fancy hotel (...) Showtime's miniseries is equal parts historical fiction and heartwarming fable"
		Josh Sharpe Paste Magazine	"McGregor offers a masterclass in acting; he is consistently charming, warm, and eye-catching at all times"
		Maggie Lovitt Collider	"With mystery, danger, and intrigue threaded throughout, 'Gentleman in Moscow' has the potential to dominate cultural conversation in the same way that 'Shōgun' and 'The Gilded Age' have nourished audiences who are starved for well-told, compelling tales"
		Peter Travers ABC News	"It sounds like heavy-going. But this series is just the opposite thanks to the buoyant brilliance of Ewan McGregor"
		Alison Herman Variety	"A limited series built around a star performance that's engaging, but not enough to stretch a movie-sized idea into a TV-sized narrative"
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"The journey is the same, and the largely subdued, fanciful, almost fairy-tale atmosphere of the series matches that of the novel"
		Chris Barsanti Slant	"This romanticized series mostly suggests rather than shows the horrors of a totalitarian regime (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Terry Ramsey Telegraph	"For many, the early pace will prove too sedate, but McGregor's outstanding performance rewards those who stay the course (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Emily Zemler The New York Observer	"The events unfold with a deft visual and tonal style, augmented by McGregor's spot-on performance, which shifts effortlessly between showmanship and vulnerability"
		Laura Weir London Evening Standard	"McGregor's Rostov had me deeply invested in his survival (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"As with so many modern prestige television ventures, the show distends itself so severely that it’s impossible not to think that it would have been better off as a two-hour feature film"
		Hugo Rifkind The Times	"It's the relationships that make this slow, confident drama so sublime"
		Joel Keller Decider	"McGregor's performance is key to the success of 'A Gentleman In Moscow', a series which has its dark moments, but is a whole lot more hopeful than it seems on the surface"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"A touching portrait of overcoming the odds and finding love despite everything in your way. Another win for Ewan McGregor"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[It] isn't all that interested in commentary, but finds its way through McGregor's lead"
