Reviews & comments

Variety
pressA slow-motion zeppelin crash that starts as a dull-edged fable, and then spirals further and further out of control without ever growing more exciting or interesting.

The Dissolve
pressSuch a weirdly somber comedy that it would almost be in poor taste to laugh during it, though there's not much danger of that happening.

Entertainment Weekly
