	Author	Review
United States	Jessica Kiang Variety	"Stunning, often beguiling and always visually inventive (...) Its problem is one of thematic greediness (...) Despite its overabundance of abstract topics, the film has nothing concrete that it truly wants to say."	NEU
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"We believe he can fly — but not quite everything else (...) This timely and impressively conceived story isn’t capable of always earning the required suspension of disbelief to make it really fly."	NEU
United States	Barbara Scharres rogerebert.com	"Surprising and resourceful (...) A genre-bending film that careens through human rights drama, thriller, supernatural fantasy, and quasi-religious message film, to end up as a black comedy."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A vapid but visually astonishing riff on Europe’s refugee crisis (...) Mundruczó’s script (co-written with Kata Wéber) has no real idea where it’s going"	NEU
United States	Ben Croll The Wrap	"'Jupiter’s Moon' juggles so many ideas in the air, yet none of them ever land (...) Mundruczo’s virtuosic visual approach remains the only steady through line"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Ambitious parable about a flying refugee never quite takes off (...) It is a very odd, singular piece of work: not the visionary masterpiece it assumes itself to be and muddled in its effects and ideas (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Jupiter’s Moon's action set pieces are cunning and visceral (...) [It] loses altitude once Mundruczó and screenwriter Kata Wéber start portentously laying out their themes"	NEU
