Reviews & comments
Variety
pressThe movie conjures no shortage of potent images, but push a bit deeper and your fist closes on empty air.
The Washington Post
pressIt’s that rare fish-out-of-water story in which the fish miraculously manages to stop needing water, and learns to crave air instead.
The New York Times
pressIt takes an actor with the finesse of Tom Hanks to turn a story of confusion, perplexity, frustration and panic into an agreeably uncomfortable comedy.
The Guardian
pressTom Tykwer’s adaptation is a meandering mess of half-baked storylines that amount to little. Hanks’s affable presence keeps it all afloat.
Hollywood Reporter
pressHanks’ portrayal of a man caught between utter defeat and a yearning to begin again is pitch-perfect.
Entertainment Weekly
pressIf it sounds like Hologram is basically about a middle-aged white guy getting his groove back in the Middle East, well, yes, it is that. But if you squint hard enough, it’s also a little bit more.
