Atlantics Ratings & Reviews
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Atlantics is rooted in the dangerous realities of migration, but it's also a movie about the smudgy space between life and death, and the irresistible pull of young love.
Shadow and Act
Kathleen Anaza
The film is as aesthetically beautiful as it is a visionary social commentary.
Breakfast All Day
Christy Lemire
I really enjoyed trying to puzzle through this and I was very impressed by the tonal balance that Mati Diop pulls off here.
Breakfast All Day
Alonso Duralde
This is a really cool like ghost story and love story and [a] social piece and all rolled into one in a very assured and fascinating movie.
The Atlantic
Hannah Giorgis
[It] deftly melds fantasy and romance in a complex portrait of migration.
TheWrap
Ben Croll
[Atlantics] can occasionally feel stretched and thin in certain spots, like a cracking medium-length film padded out to feature runtime. Still, that's no matter, because the film's real coup is the victory it scores for greater perspective.
Vanity Fair
K. Austin Collins
Atlantics stuns and surprises.
Polygon
Karen Han
Stunning, capturing the migrant story and its effects in a new light.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
[Diop] has woven all these concerns and more into a bewitching and masterful film unlike any you've ever seen.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
...a movie that works to keep its audience suspended vertiginously between states of focus and drift, of realism and fantasy, of confusion and understanding.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
But it's in the film's exploration of desire that it really sings, and begins to acquire magical realist qualities, as if human desire has the power to push everyday existence into something extraordinary and dangerous
San Francisco Chronicle
Zaki Hasan
Like the pounding waves that recur throughout, this is a vibrant and confident feature debut for the director, and her arrival on cinema's shores signals big things ahead.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
This is a very deft movie... [Mame Bineta Sane] is just absolutely striking in this movie.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
Atlantics pulls you into an experience. The empathy machine runs at full speed here. Ada, c'est moi.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
Mati Diop's debut feature is undeniably one of the boldest films of the year, crackling with invention, beauty, and anger.
4Columns
Melissa Anderson
Diop's film, her first feature, isn't only one thing or beholden to a sole genre. Nested within this tale of the reanimated dead is a mythic romance and a coldly furious allegory about the migrant crisis.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
[Atlantics] sustains its thrills throughout its runtime, matches its gorgeous imagery with a compelling story, and defies easy categorization.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
It's a suspenseful, sensual, exciting movie, and therefore a deeply haunting one as well.
AV Club
Lawrence Garcia
Nonetheless, for Diop as much as for her lead character, Atlantics resounds with the promise of great things to come.
