★★★★★ - Times
"A stunning study of a man losing his mind"
★★★★ (4/4) - Observer
"Running a gamut of emotions, [Hopkins] is egotistical, senile, lovable and infuriating at the same time, but the star never overplays the cornucopia of mixed emotions at his disposal, examining them all with magnificent equanimity."
★★★★ (4/4) - Globe and Mail
"The results are both mind-bending and heart-rending."
★★★★ - Guardian
"A brutal, trippy portrait of what it must feel like to lose your grip on reality boasts an Oscar-worthy performance."
