“Everybody’s going to love this movie.” (FilmWeek)

“At 2½ hours plus, it also has its longueurs but there are some spectacularly beautiful moments and Gosling makes an engaging companion who makes something poignant as well as funny out of Grace’s unwelcome elevation to hero status.” (Sydney Morning Herald)

“Like the space mission named in its title, Project Hail Mary pulls off a seemingly impossible task, combining big-budget Hollywood spectacle with small-scale craft.” (Slate)

“This is the most ambitious picture, in terms of structure and spectacle, that the filmmaking duo of Lord and Miller have ever made, and sometimes it reels out of their grasp.” (TIME Magazine)
