	Author	Review
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"A highly unusual and welcome look at schizophrenia that neither demonizes those with the condition nor patronizes them as suffering martyrs"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"'Eternal Beauty' allies strong performances with imaginative direction, channelling the likes of Wes Anderson and Michel Gondry to bring Jane’s altered states to life (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Tracey Petherick Common Sense Media	"Raw, imaginative, and eye-opening, this darkly comic drama is a haunting insight into mental illness in the 1970s and 1980s (...) Hawkins gives an incredible performance"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Despite a fine cast, it doesn't hold together (...) The result occasionally summons the genuinely disoriented perspective of an unstable protagonist, but more often, it’s the filmmaking that seems to spiral out of control"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jeremy Aspinall Radio Times	"The subject matter could be depressing, but Roberts deftly balances the comedy and drama (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Lewis Knight Mirror	"A quirky and moving character study of a woman struggling with mental illness with a captivating lead performance from Sally Hawkins (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"For the first half-hour or so of 'Eternal Beauty,' Roberts and Hawkins take an unusual and intermittently illuminating approach to depicting mental illness (...) But the movie doesn’t keep up its good work"	NEU
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide The Guardian	"A bold but jarring sketch of schizophrenia (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
