The New York Times
pressLike some features that originated as short movies, "Anna and the Apocalypse" never earns its longer running time.
Stuff
pressDirector John McPhail (Where Do We Go From Here?) keeps the story cracking along at a decent pace.

pressMcPhail, director of the care home-set comedy drama Where Do We Go From Here?, carries off a tricky mix of elements with brio.
Rolling Stone
pressHere's the holiday musical you're looking for - if, say, you like a splash of gore and a parade of flesh-eating zombies between musical numbers. Eat your heart out, Mary Poppins!
Collider
pressSlick and stylish, with moments of gore that are played for gross-out and laughs in equal measure. You will hum along, you will tap your toes, if you're a big softy like me, you'll cry, but you will definitely have a great time.
