| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...a cinematic gem, and one not to be missed...worth a hundred-fold the money you’d spend for any of today’s attempts at screen comedy. |
| Movie MomNell MinowExquisitely funny masterpiece with one of the greatest physical comedians of all time. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesBy the end, Tati has evoked the place with such grace and lulling humor that we wouldn't mind staying there. |
| Filmcritic.comJake Eukerthe retro feel that the passing decades have bestowed upon it may make it even more enjoyable today than it was in 1953. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonAs lazy and disjointed as Mr. Hulot's Holiday seems, you know Tati worked out every small detail in advance. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanThere's also an unforced feel that makes it unlike nearly any other screen comedy. |

| OregonianStan HallA great introduction to the work of Tati, who made only a few movies but is rightly recognized as one of the great visionary directors. |
| Film.comJonathan F. RichardsTati is heir to the great comics of the silent era, Chaplin and Keaton and Lloyd. |
