Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
The director of "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenenbaums" scores his most funny-sad movie to date.
90
Los Angeles Times - Carina Chocano
An exquisitely evocative movie that elevates rueful melancholia to a superpower.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - Sheri Linden
Wonderfully weird and wistful adventure-comedy about a fish-out-of-water oceanographer.
80
The New York Times - Dana Stevens
The actor's (Murray) quiet, downcast presence modulates the antic busyness that encircles him, and his performance is a triumph of comic minimalism.

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
As someone who has warmed up to Anderson's work only gradually, I'd call this a step back for him, but I also can't help but wonder: Will he ever take that crucial step forward and stop saying, Isn't it ironic?
