The Film StageRory O'ConnorMay 27, 2017
The juxtaposition of supernatural thriller tropes and urgent socio-political issues in Kornél Mundruczó’s latest movie — an original take on the superhero origin story set to the backdrop of the refugee crisis — might prove a delicate one for some viewers to take. Those unperturbed, however, should find much to relish in Jupiter’s Moon. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijMay 27, 2017
A film with some real stunning visual highlights but a narrative throughline that feels patchy and unbalanced. Read full review

Screen DailyTim GriersonMay 27, 2017
An ambitious, thematically overstuffed drama that’s both a crackling action-thriller and a ponderous political commentary. Read full review

CineVueJohn BleasdaleMay 27, 2017

The sheer volume of potential readings eventually stalls on reductive soundbites about a faithless generation, but the set-pieces sizzle with style. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichMay 27, 2017
Jupiter’s Moon is no simple story of escape, in part because Mundruczó’s script (co-written with Kata Wéber) has no real idea where it’s going. Read full review

The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicMay 27, 2017
As visually arresting as Kornél Mundruczó’s latest film Jupiter’s Moon undoubtedly is, it remains too intellectually imprisoned within its own allegorical confines to make a truly positive impact. Read full review

VarietyJessica KiangMay 27, 2017
This serious-minded, ambitious oddity shoots for the moon of a far-off planet, but it really only finds the grace it’s looking for in its magnificent supple camerawork. Read full review
