96% Critics Consensus on RT!

“Chalamet makes one of the most colossal movie performances of the 21st century seem as natural as a lay-up.” – David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

“For its entire two and a half hours — which whips past in what feels like mere minutes — Safdie’s film had me vibrating like a tuning fork. It’s a joyous salute to life’s beautiful cacophony.” – Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph (UK)

“A melt-the-screen-down-to-gold performance. With the steamroller audacity of his character, Chalamet has staked a massively confident claim for his first Oscar. If you must gamble, lay it all on Chalamet. Now.” – Nick Howells, London Evening Standard
