Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) 6h
This is the kind of film in which characters express their agonies with bursts of interpretative dancing. It could almost have been cooked up by a big Hollywood studio expressly to discredit the very idea of arthouse cinema. Go to Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture 1d
The whole film is series of fragments, and not particularly good ones. Go to Full Review Hugh Montgomery BBC.com 1d
4/5
...with its highly privileged social milieu and chic interiors, At the Sea could be caricatured as another "rich people have problems too" drama. But the depth of feeling in Adams' characterisation of Laura taps into something much more universal. Go to Full Review Luis Martínez El Mundo (Spain) 1d
2/5
An exaggerated display of self-importance. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Jack Walters Loud and Clear Reviews 2d
2.5/5
It feels like there’s a very poignant, moving story hidden somewhere deep within Mundruczó’s latest film, but the screenplay seems unable to draw anything meaningful from this promising setup. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
