	Author	Review
	Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"An exercise in style that methodically strips away the bark of realism to extract, drop by drop, a pulp of very original humour"	POS
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"'Keep an Eye Out' is chock full of bizarre happenings that don't really add up to much but are nonetheless well orchestrated and amusing to watch"	NEU
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"The delightfully daft, dialogue-driven result makes for a languid farce that mischievously flips a funhouse mirror on jaded audiences to welcome, if fleeting, effect."	POS
United States	Michael Nordine Variety	"It’s a mildly amusing trifle (...) It’s one thing not to challenge your viewers, but another not to challenge yourself"	NEU
United States	Kristen Yoonsoo Kim The New York Times	"Dupieux pulls off this bizarre procedural in a lean running time while hitting the notes of darkness and drollery just right."	POS
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"For all that goes into making a movie (...) the impulsive, scattered storytelling here almost feels like an unrewarding and contrarian statement to such hard labor (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Haleigh Foutch Collider	"Though the incessant bickering and dry narrative can be tiresome at times (...) Dupieux keeps things lively by firing off absurdist gags in every way possible."	POS
Canada	Eric Ortiz García Screen Anarchy	"The mixture of elements, and the reaffirmation that Dupieux will always try to raise the volume of its eccentricity to 11, has some ups and downs, but (...) the best moments of the worthy 'Keep an Eye Out' are absolutely brilliant"	POS
