Variety

This deceptively simple yet quietly revelatory drama features engaging characters and offers wryly ironic comments on the unpredictable nature of film production.

Screen International

A leisurely paced, sometimes enigmatic pleasure which will appeal to those who like their art cinema intelligent and slow-burning.

Asian Movie Pulse

"The Pluto Moment" follows most of the "rules" of the Chinese indie, but has enough context and artistry to stand out from the plethora of similar productions.

[The film has] moments of great beauty for a film that does not always reach the same height, but when it does it becomes one of the most interesting proposals of the [Cannes] Fortnight. [Full review in Spanish]
