A Hologram for the King Reviews

Movie Reviews

• writer-director wisely accentuates the allegorical story's absurdist slant. He translates the clear-cut prose into strong visuals, while the perfectly cast Tom Hanks delivers a poignant turn as a man facing his own obsolescence

  by Sheri Linden [Hollywood Reporter ]

• the result plays like a striking but somewhat faltering visual projection of its source material

  by Justin Chang [Variety ]

• it's pure Harlequin fantasy... but then, an exotic fantasy is basically what "A Hologram For The King" is, something no amount of Tom Hanks's conviction can hide

  Review rate : C by Kenji Fujishima [The Playlist ]

• a meandering mess of half-baked storylines that amount to little. Hanks's affable presence keeps it all afloat

  by Nigel M. Smith [The Guardian ]

• "A Hologram for the King" is disappointing mostly in that it could have been been better

  by Tony Hicks [San Jose Mercury News ]
