Leave your thoughts about A Hologram for the King.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA Hologram for the King has great energy, and also a languorous, lived-in quality. |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerIn its second half, though, Tykwer and Hanks find a tone that works for both of them, and A Hologram For The King becomes an involving, intriguing drama. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperWriter-director Tom Tykwer is clearly a fan of the source material, and he has done an admirable job of taking a melancholy, beautifully rendered piece of prose and catapulting it to visual life. |
| Christianity TodayAlissa WilkinsonTranslating life's happenstance into an effective bit of entertainment is trickier, and the movie has a disconcerting tendency to turn a hero's existential, enigmatically signposted journey into a sandy path strewn with red herrings. |
| ExcelsiorLucero SolórzanoA pleasant experience thanks to Tom Hank's experience with these type of characters. [Full review in Spanish] |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersTykwer is happy to let the journey of his main character speak movingly for itself; and in the process the veteran director brings forth a motion picture I'm going to happily treasure for a long time to come. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinWhat Eggers took chapters to establish, Tykwer manages to subliminally install. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonIt’s true that not much happens — except cinema at its finest. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellTom Hanks exerts such a gravitational force in his movies, sometimes to his detriment, it's fascinating to watch him struggle for equilibrium in Tom Tykwer's A Hologram for the King. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamYou always trust Hanks, and he makes this "Hologram" feel real. |
