	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"A highly original and rather touching account of loss, both physical and emotional, this is the kind of mature animation flick that could find traction beyond the fest circuit.	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"One of the strangest ideas ever committed to animation — a severed hand seek answers — ultimately proves to be one of the medium's most profound offerings."	POS
United States	Teo Bugbee The New York Times	"The movie abounds with imagination, but is unfortunately too unnerving — even nauseating — to enjoy."	NEU
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"You might say this magical, intoxicating piece of work does not have an ordinary bone in its body, and what a delight that turns out to be."	POS
United States	Carlos Aguilar The Wrap	"[It] could nudge director Jeremy Clapin toward the top rank of film animators (...) this bona fide treasure is sure to leave its melancholic fingerprints all over the viewer’s soul."	POS
United States	David Fear Rolling Stone	"[You may] feel so exhilarated watching an insanely creative voice in animation flex his storytelling muscles that you don’t realize the huge lump in your throat (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"This poetic fable about a severed hand is the best animated film of the year"	POS
United States	Alex Billington First Showing	"It's wonderful. Really wonderful. One of the most imaginative, ambitious, and touching animated films of the year - there's no debate."	POS
United States	Rafael Motamayor SlashFilm	"A touching, macabre, and profoundly emotional animated film with a unique visual style and one of the most original stories that prove the value and the potential of animation as a medium"	POS
United Kingdom	Lisa Nesselson Screendaily	"A sinuous, thought-provoking medley of creative leaps that coalesce into an unpredictable narrative gem, 'I Lost My Body'is sit up and take notice animation"	POS
	Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"A moving, inventive, and prodigious gem of storytelling"	POS
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"[A] wonderful, tender movie, the most daring animation of 2019 (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	John Nugent Empire	"If it’s slightly hampered by a generic love story and pie-in-the-sky teenage pontificating, 'I Lost My Body' should still rank among the year’s most original and peculiar films (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Tara Brady Irish Times	"Dan Levy’s mesmerising score, a stellar voice cast, and an unconventional denouement ensure that this is the best animated feature film of 2019 (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie	"Beautiful, heart-breaking and deeply contemplative (...) It is quite unlike any other film you've ever seen before and one of Netflix's most ambitious movies to date."	POS
Ireland	Graham Scannain	"Jérémy Clapin has a deft hand at helping his audience empathise with his protagonist (...) In the end, I adored 'I Lost My Body' (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
