Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"The most fun you'll have in a cinema all year."

The TelegraphThe Telegraph

IndependentIndependent

"Doesn’t fully honour the subversive charm of the Wilder movie, but it has a sweetness of its own."

IGNIGN

"(A) sweet and spirited holiday delight."

The Globe and MailThe Globe and Mail

"A lively, winsome pleasure."

Vanity FairVanity Fair

"A beguiling way to spend 116 minutes, perfectly anchored by Chalamet’s benevolent dandy."

"A disheartening and manic buffet of corporatised whimsy."
