"The movie conjures no shortage of potent images, but push a bit deeper and your fist closes on empty air."

Variety
Variety"It's hard to imagine a more Tom Hanks-y setup than this."
—
Time Out
Time Out"It’s that rare fish-out-of-water story in which the fish miraculously manages to stop needing water, and learns to crave air instead."

The Washington Post
The Washington Post"It takes an actor with the finesse of Tom Hanks to turn a story of confusion, perplexity, frustration and panic into an agreeably uncomfortable comedy."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Tom Tykwer’s adaptation is a meandering mess of half-baked storylines that amount to little. Hanks’s affable presence keeps it all afloat."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"We leave the desert feeling parched."
—
Little White Lies
Little White Lies"Hanks’ portrayal of a man caught between utter defeat and a yearning to begin again is pitch-perfect."
—

Entertainment Weekly
Entertainment Weekly"Pleasant but ultimately forgettable."
