The Playlist - Jessica Kiang
A gentle but sharply defined story, brimming with grace, compassion and performances of perfect naturalism, it is unashamedly intellectual yet deeply human.

Slant Magazine - Chuck Bowen
The seeming miracle of Columbus is its mixture of formal precision with a philosophical grasp of human mystery.

Variety - Geoff Berkshire
The hypnotically paced drama carried by the serendipitous odd-couple pairing of John Cho and Haley Lu Richardson is lovely and tender, marking Kogonada as an auteur to watch.

The New Yorker - Richard Brody
Richardson in particular vaults to the forefront of her generation’s actors with this performance, which virtually sings with emotional and intellectual acuity.... Few performances—and few films—glow as brightly with the gemlike fire of precocious genius.

Los Angeles Times - Justin Chang
What’s remarkable about this wondrously assured debut is that technique never overwhelms feeling, in part because Kogonada makes the two seem inextricably, harmoniously linked.
