	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Tim Glanfield Radio Times	"[It] works where many movie adaptations and spin-offs of TV shows fail because it captures the essence of the original programme (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Judy Berman Time	"It feels like a continuation of 'Breaking Bad' without also feeling like merely an extra-long TV episode. It’s a true movie, with the taut pacing, satisfying conclusion and grand visual scale that distinction implies."	POS
United Kingdom	Paul MacInnes The Guardian	"Where it excels is in giving the character of Jesse some closure (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Potton The Times	"A powerful and unshowy epilogue. The 'Breaking Bad' movie is striking, oblique and has exceptional cinematography (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"A project that feels true to its source, a well-crafted epilogue for a beloved character (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Adam Graham Detroit News	"[It] recreates the tone and feel of 'Breaking Bad' so effectively that it's a wonder it wasn't shot at the same time and stuck in a vault until now"	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"A riveting goodbye to ‘Breaking Bad’ (...) a nimble escape story that gives Jesse Pinkman a well-earned spotlight."	POS
United States	David Griffin IGN	"El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie gives Jesse Pinkman the swan song he deserves, with a compelling two-hour story that brings us back into the high-stakes world of drugs and thrilling shootouts"	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"El Camino gives Breaking Bad fans exactly what they want (...) [a] fan service executed at a very high level"	POS
United States	Eddie Strait The Daily Dot	"An excellent send-off for Jesse Pinkman (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Chris Harvey The Independent	"[It] doesn’t quite know what it is, or what it wants to be (...) From the start it is clear that we are in the hands of a master storyteller (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Matt Goldberg Collider	"El Camino doesn’t match the dizzying highs and nerve-wracking tension of the series, but it does provide a solid sendoff to the anguished Jesse Pinkman"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"It looks great, sounds great and if you're a fan, it's full of cameos and references that are sure to amuse.	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"When you have Vince Gilligan operating near the peak of his powers, and taking the time to fix one of the few things the show didn’t get quite right, it makes for one hell of an entertaining gift (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	James Poniewozik Irish Times	"[It] is well executed but adds little to the 'Breaking Bad' universe (...) It’s a zippy and scenic ride, but we already had the map."	NEU
Ireland	Alan Corr RTÉ	"[It] is very good (...) A neat and very moving visual bookend to Jesse’s story (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Pat Stacey Irish Independent	"While it’s great to be back in the company of Aaron Paul, I’m not so sure you’d be missing out on a lot if you skipped 'El Camino' (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
Ireland	Fiona Flynn entertainment.ie	"Keep expectations low and enjoy it for what it is, a thoughtful, well-paced follow-up that serves as a fitting epilogue to one of TV's greatest shows."	POS
