"A brilliant exploration of beauty, artistry, and identity, driven by a wonderful Stan performance. Not to be missed." (Total Film)
"An absurdist masterpiece. From the woozy score and cinematography to the incisive satirical discussion on ‘authentic’ casting and the co-opting of other people’s lives as fodder." (The Curb)
"A thought-provoking masterclass of storytelling that features an Oscar-worthy turn from Sebastian Stan." (Fandom Wire)
"Come to this clever satire for Sebastian Stan’s radical transformation, beyond the prosthetics, but stay for Adam Pearson’s remarkable performance as a bona fide matinée idol." (Empire Magazine)
"[Director]Schimberg brilliantly anticipates every ethical qualm you might have, and every artistic parallel you might spot from Beauty and the Beast to The Elephant Man, and lobs them all back at the audience like water bombs." (Daily Telegraph)
