"A charming space oddity for these unusual times."
— Helen O'Hara, Empire Magazine
"It’s unquestionably tremendous fun: a big, strange spectacle that’s unlike most blockbuster cinema out there."
— Lou Thomas, Time Out
"Director Bong returns to familiar territory, but with no less ambition or heart than he has shown throughout his career."
— Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
"Bong succinctly riffs on old Hollywood to maintain his legacy of class-conscious films that challenge the status quo appealingly and refreshingly."
— Digby Houghton, The Playlist
"Mickey 17 includes Robert Pattinson’s best role(s) to date and further cements Bong Joon-ho as the strongest, most consistent filmmaker of the 21st century."
— David Opie, Total Film
"There are two things that can break the vicious cycle of violence and exploitation: one of them is love, and the second one is revolution. Thankfully, Mickey 17 offers both."
— Savina Petkova, AwardsWatch
"Most similar in scope and tone to Joon-ho’s dystopic class nightmare in 2013’s Snowpiercer, Mickey 17 is well-executed in its world-building, and is surprisingly charming."
— Nicholas Bell, IONCINEMA.com
"A science fiction parable, one that fits neatly alongside Bong’s earlier works Snowpiercer (2013) and Okja (2017), Mickey 17 is a darkly funny look at humankind’s desire to conquer at any cost."
— James Mottram, South China Morning Post
"A teen-idol turned auteur-darling turned action-lead, Pattinson could easily call comedy his true calling, here delivering an elastic physical performance as dexterous as Jim Carrey in his prime."
— Ben Croll, TheWrap
"'Mickey 17' is a deeply heartfelt and uncomfortably funny musing on capitalism, colonization, and corruption. It's a perfect film for our time, and Bong Joon-ho's best English-language film yet."
— BJ Colangelo, Slashfilm
"'Mickey 17' feels like a true blockbuster that doesn’t merely strive for action or cheap thrills but rather understands the innate drama and social awareness that audiences genuinely care about in their cinema."
— Jack Walters, Next Best Picture
"Director Bong Joon-ho returns to hilarious form in a biting sci-fi satire of capitalism, class warfare, and demagogue worship. Robert Pattinson and a sharp ensemble cast will have you laughing out loud in Mickey 17."
— Julian Roman, MovieWeb
"This is Pattinson at his best, holding his movie star charisma hostage in order to pursue loveable weirdos in all kinds of shades. He’s fully liberated here, consistently finding the most unexpected and delightful ways to deliver a line."
— Clarisse Loughrey, Independent (UK)
"Mickey 17 succeeds as a mind-bending, existentially rich, and darkly comedic ride. Led by a captivatingly unhinged Robert Pattinson and a wonderfully sleazy Mark Ruffalo, the film is an absurdist satire and a welcomed return hit of the Bong."
— David Gonzalez, The Cinematic Reel
"I’d argue that 'Mickey 17,' the best and most cohesive of Bong’s English-language films, offers such exciting proof of Bong’s genius precisely because it feels like such a clear amalgamation of his previous two, [Snowpiercer and Okja]."
— David Ehrlich, indieWire
"Mickey 17 is a provocative, level-headed, wry sci-fi take on the roots of US identity…Bong Joon-ho’s most commercially appealing prospect to date. It’s a great set of roles for Robert Pattinson…the kind of blockbuster that gives blockbusters a good name."
— Eddie Harrison, film-authority.com
"Mickey 17 is funny and charming from the get-go, building out a fascinating sci-fi world from its central conceit that ends up speaking to powerful and timely concerns through humour, satire and exhilarating genre elements. Bong Joon-ho's best English movie to date and arguably Robert Pattinson's best movie ever."
— David Opie, Total Film
