TheWrap - Dan Callahan
The Lost City of Z feels like a clear artistic advance for Gray, who proves himself here as one of our finest and most distinctive living filmmakers.
90
The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
The Lost City of Z is a rare piece of contemporary classical cinema; its virtues of methodical storytelling, traditional style and obsessive theme are ones that would have been recognized and embraced anytime from the 1930s through the 1970s.
88
Slant Magazine - Ed Gonzalez
The Lost City of Z links every weathered look that Percy Fawcett throws to the heart of his spiritual yearning.
83
The Film Stage - Nick Newman
The lushness of its images, how they simultaneously recall and move forward, in concert with its confidence in its pacing, as a work of both writing and editing, are a powerful thing taken in-tandem.
80
The Guardian - Jordan Hoffman
Much will be said about Gray’s cinematic craft (as is often the case when a director works with cinematographer Darius Khondji) but beneath the slow roll down the river pierced by arrows from unseen, defensive natives, there’s a fascinating, mercurial screenplay that offers just enough to keep you journeying for more insight.
