	Author	Review
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"An entrancingly strange time-travel saga (...) Playfully and portentously examining themes of destiny, mutability and identity"	POS
United Kingdom	Henry Barnes The Guardian	"The Spierig brothers show off a classy, if needlessly complex sci-fi (...) It doesn’t offer any new twists on the genre, but it is clever enough to leave you satisfied that you don’t want the time back (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Elizabeth Kerr The Hollywood Reporter	"The film comes from the fine tradition of other time travel thrillers like Primer, Looper and Source Code, but Predestination takes temporal paradoxes to an entirely new (and nearly unsustainable) level"	POS
United States	Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times	"The Spierig brothers have deftly fashioned an unpredictable thrill ride, and the joy is to fit together all its puzzle pieces"	POS
United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"Weirder and more contemplative than many of its time-traveling brethren, Predestination is a stylish head trip. It also marks Australian actor Snook as one to watch (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
