Critics Consensus

Dazzling, but a little dull, ANIARA's impeccable production design is undermined by its underwhelming philosophical pondering.

The most amazing movies I've seen all year. One of the only movies to make me cry at the end. Just watch it.

Slow, depressing, and typical bleak euro. Feels like a lot of the "rescue probe" thread got left on the cutting room floor, so that was rather pointless. Actors were good though. Felt a lot like other movies that were created from very short stories – etherial and disconnected. Difficult to engage with the entire runtime

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

This is a movie I won't soon forget. It's beautiful, and moving, and heartbreaking. I loved it but was also left feeling quite despondent and alone, as the timeline continued. It is both one of the most beautiful, but also most depressing movies I've ever seen. I appreciate that it didn't have a fake Disney-eque happy ending, because real life rarely does. If you enjoy Sci-Fi with a deeper meaning, give this a view.

while not amazing, its pretty cool. kind of gets you thinking about time, the vastness of space, our lifespans, our species longevity... this is based on a 1956 (!) book length poem. now i want to read it.

Guardian

A haunting allegorical tale, Aniara warns of humanity hurtling in the wrong direction and realising too late that there is no turning back.

Guardian

A cold, cruel, piercingly humane sci-fi parable that's both bang on the zeitgeist and yet also unnervingly original.

Rated: 4/5

"Aniara" may be the coolest, costliest, most dystopian shaggy-dog story ever filmed.

Rated: 2.5/4

Flick Feast

A deep, probing meditation on the acceptance of one’s place in the universe... Aniara might be a ship without a destination but this film is ultimately destined to become a timeless sci-fi classic.

Rated: 5/5

As interesting as "Aniara" is to think about, the movie isn't exactly an engaging watch.
