	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ed Gibbs The Guardian	"[It] lacks passion and focus (...) [Klinger] focuses on style over story (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"A disjointed love story with two appealing stars (...) One disappointment of the movie is that it doesn’t have a strong enough sense of place."	NEU
United States	Carson Lund Slant	"What's special about 'Porto' (...) is the relative internalization of its influences, which feel secondary to its larger grappling with a timeless emotional enigma (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"[A] graceful romantic miniature (...) There’s emotional resonance to many of Klinger’s most elaborate technical choices"	POS
United States	Britt Hayes Screen Crush	"While Yelchin is predictably good with what he’s been given, Jake is one-dimensional (...) 'Porto' reads like a short student film pointlessly extended to feature length."	NEU
United States	Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"An extraordinary and delicate depiction of a fleeting passion (...) A remarkable and tender romance"	POS
