Jourdain Searles

IndieWire

Though its darkness may be alienating, there’s something to be said about a love story that isn’t afraid to admit that one of the lovers isn’t the charming dreamboat he appears to be. And to Golding’s credit, there’s no vanity in his portrayal of Nicolas.

Vigalondo challenges that we all have to wake up sometime, no matter how deep our grief.

Thomas Alexander

HeyUGuys

You are taken on a complex emotional journey where there is a real tenderness in how Nacho Vigalondo approaches this touch subject matter. The brutal reality of loss and how to cope is at its core and one that will leave its mark on you.

Rated: 4/5

The List

The world-building isn’t expansive enough to bear the weight of this ambitious blend of sci-fi and romcom, but its sly subversion of the meet-cute and its knotted examination of loss make for a worthwhile, charmingly earnest experience.

Rated: 3/5
