	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Pointlessness, isolation and the guarantee that no one will ever understand your plight may not sound like the makings of a laugh-filled heartwarmer, but in the hands of Barbakow and screenwriter Andy Siara, it is."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[A] wildly funny, admirably inventive movie (...) The movie invites you to wonder whether there’s a meaningful difference between resignation and rebellion"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"This ironic, irreverent and at times insane rom-com does something new with a genre audiences have experienced a million times before."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A hilarious comedy that questions the value of monogamy in a meaningless world. (...) Barbakow’s film aspires to the same droll profundity that made 'Groundhog Day' into such a milestone."	POS
United States	Ben Pearson SlashFilm	"A sharp, laugh out loud crowd-pleaser, 'Palm Springs' could end up being the funniest film of 2020"	POS
United States	Adam Chitwood Collider	"This is a movie that begins as one thing, but then very quickly becomes something entirely different—and it’s downright brilliant."	POS
United States	Angie Han Mashable	"How do you tell a love story, a truly tender one, about two people whose biggest commonality is a commitment to not giving a shit? (...) 'Palm Springs' embrace that sense of nihilism"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Cristin Milioti joins Samberg for a romcom that doesn’t disappoint (...) Samberg saddles his best screen role to date (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"A very interesting and thought-provoking experience. It often made me laugh out loud. (...) Palm Springs is full of surprises. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Robert Daniels The Playlist	"Andy Samberg delights in this surprisingly introspective comedy (...) a fabulous adventure in love and growth"	POS
United States	Alex Billington First Showing	"It ends up delivering the same message most romantic comedies have: spending a life together with someone you enjoy spending that time with is better than a life alone. And while that isn't anything new, the whole experience is so jovially humorous, it doesn't matter if you agree with what it's saying or not.	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"It’s a goofy, drunken scrap of escapism and while the romantic comedy is not fully back (...) 'Palm Springs' energetically reminds us, yet again, that it’s never really going away (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	A.A. Dowd AV Club	"A sweet, madly inventive, totally mainstream romantic comedy (...) it does actually improve upon 'Groundhog Day'"	POS
