Reviews


80
Time Out - Joshua Rothkopf
Directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg are unusually committed to maritime mechanics, and the excitement grows as steadily as the sailors’ beards.

New York Daily News - Joe Neumaier
This terrific film certainly contains the spark of discovery.
75
The Playlist - Jessica Kiang
There is little more to Kon-Tiki than a fun, handsomely-mounted, old-style adventure story. And as impressive a feat as that is to achieve, especially outside of Hollywood, which kind of specialises in this sort of thing, those looking for something with more depth from this category may come away a little disappointed.
75
Observer - Rex Reed
As an epic of awesome achievement, it never bores.
75
The A.V. Club - Sam Adams
Kon-Tiki, Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg’s modern dramatization, while well-acted and smartly filmed, rarely musters any actual sense of excitement.
