	Author	Review
United States	Nicholas Barber IndieWire	"[It] is the French absurdist’s most accessible film to date, but still has his own personal brand of deadpan oddness."	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"If you think that sounds like the dumbest thing ever and you absolutely have to see it, you won’t be remotely disappointed"	POS
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	"Dupieux goes beyond the usual 'Love you bro!' buddy-film clichés to draw something genuine, even heartwarming, out of the friendship between these two idiots."	POS
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"It’s a truly daft idea, but Quentin Dupieux’s film about a pair of robbers who try to train a giant insect doesn’t quite go the distance (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	David Katz The Film Stage	"It’s Dupieux’s most polished, expensive, and well-made film, and, not coincidentally, also his best."	POS
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"Short, sweet and genuinely funny at times, if also insane and possibly offensive to anyone who’s had a terrible ski accident"	POS
United States	Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"'Mandibles' takes an absurd situation and treats it like a normal bump in the road (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"Unexpectedly, 'Mandibles' is kind of a hangout movie, one in which we get to chill with two imbeciles and a giant bug. It shouldn't work, but it does"	POS
	Marta Bałaga Cineuropa	"With a laugh-out-loud film that feels like a long-lost cousin of the Coen brothers’ 'idiot trilogy', Quentin Dupieux once again makes the world a much better place"	POS
