Really enjoyed it! It’s a cool idea and story. Iconic, 9/10 must watch at some point in your life

Newsweek
Superbly made and winningly acted by Brad Pitt in his most impressive outing to date.
Kirk Honeycutt
The Hollywood Reporter
This odd, epic tale of a man who ages backwards is presented in an impeccable classical manner, every detail tended to with fastidious devotion.
