	Author	Review
United States	Alissa Simon Variety	"[A] clever homage to the worlds of film and fine art (...) While Krstić is especially good at providing noir atmosphere (...) he positively excels at high-octane action."	POS
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"This is first and foremost a rollicking and very imaginatively staged ride that’s enjoyable and different"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"[A] mesmerizing mindbender (...) A transporting and transcendent cinema marvel that re-invents what animation can do (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The movie is fun to look at without quite being exciting to watch. This is mostly because the story never fully lives up to the ideas, and the ideas themselves are fuzzy and scattered."	NEU
United States	April Wolfe AV Club	"What’s so grand about 'Ruben Brandt' (...) is the animation—the detailed artwork, so dense that it warrants repeat viewings."	POS
United States	Carlos Aguilar Cartoon Brew	"A stunning debut (...) Krstic constructed a stylistically astonishing ode to art and cinema."	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"The screenplay for this immensely enjoyable animation is (...) agile and audacious (...) And the art direction is, if anything, even more accomplished"	POS
	Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"One of the best animated films to come out of Europe since 2003’s 'Belleville Rendez-vous' (...) It is quite a magnificent achievement"	POS
