Critics Consensus

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

Wendy Ide

Guardian

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

Rated: 4/5

Leslie Felperin

Guardian

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

Rated: 4/5

Boston Globe

"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.

Rated: 3/5

This is a smart, science fiction drama with a particularly literary sensibility.

Downright pathetic. Terrible acting. Plot voids. Non-compelling characters. Plus the protagonist (whose name is so important that no one can recall it) screams like a butchered pig whenever the occasion is on. Gratuitous lesbian porno. Gratuitous etero porno. Had to skip all of that to avoid bashing the screen with a baseball bat. She is also ugly and irritating as fluck. Anyway: -there is no flucking sound in space -with such amazing technology, no one could send an SOS following the deviation -absurd and inconsistent ending -totally gratuitous plot: completely deprived of any content. Absurd someone paid to shoot this schit.

A decent watch. Nothing blockbuster. For me to watch a foreign film with subtitles, is speaking volumes. I mostly enjoyed the space-travel aspect. Yes....the Fi in Sci-Fi is obvious to a space nerd like myself, but it worked.

One of the bleakest, most depressing movies (pieces of art) one would ever see, hear, look at; and I LOVED every minute of it!

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