A Hologram for the King's reviews
Media reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
A beautiful and eccentric waking dream (...) This is quite simply a beautiful film to behold.
New York Times
It takes an actor with the finesse of Tom Hanks to turn a story of confusion, perplexity, frustration and panic into an agreeably uncomfortable comedy.
The Hollywood Reporter
Though it isn't without its awkward missteps, the movie generally finds Tom Tykwer back in form after the muddled mess of 'Cloud Atlas'.
The Washington Post
It's that rare fish-out-of-water story in which the fish miraculously manages to stop needing water, and learns to crave air instead.
The Guardian
A meandering mess of half-baked storylines that amount to little. Hanks's affable presence keeps it all afloat.
Los Angeles Times
'A Hologram for the King' is a baffling film (...) The problem is not that anything on screen is troubling, it's that nothing there, not even star Tom Hanks, is capable of holding our interest or attention for very long.
