| The SkinnyJosh Slater-WilliamsA warm, quietly devastating drama that has plenty to offer for those open to something subtle. |
| ArtsATLSteve MurrayAs much as anything, the movie is about the zen-like stillness and symmetry of the mid-century architecture that serves as the film's backdrop. |
| Buffalo NewsChristopher SchobertColumbus is the debut from Kogonda, and it marks him as a filmmaker to watch closely. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisThe quietly stirring, exquisitely photographed Columbus is an art-house gem that beautifully illuminates not only the architecture of a small Indiana town, but also the characters that inhabit it. |
| VarietyGeoff BerkshireThe hypnotically paced drama carried by the serendipitous odd-couple pairing of John Cho and Haley Lu Richardson is lovely and tender, marking Kogonada as an auteur to watch. |

| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasA wonderful film that takes the time to notice the world -- how strangers can connect with each other, how architecture can define a community, how complicated the relationships between parents and their adult children can get. |
| The PlaylistJessica KiangA gentle but sharply defined story, brimming with grace, compassion and performances of perfect naturalism, it is unashamedly intellectual yet deeply human. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThe seeming miracle of Columbus is its mixture of formal precision with a philosophical grasp of human mystery. |
| The New YorkerRichard BrodyRichardson in particular vaults to the forefront of her generation’s actors with this performance, which virtually sings with emotional and intellectual acuity.... Few performances—and few films—glow as brightly with the gemlike fire of precocious genius. |
