"It’s a beautifully written, superbly acted gem. A feel-good film that enchants for just the right amount of time."
— Alfred Castaneda, Shade Studios
"Imagine an alternate version of 'Napoleon Dynamite' where everyone’s situation was played for sincerity rather than cynical irony and you’ll have a rough idea of the vibes that 'Olmo' captures."
— Christian Zilko, IndieWire
"Spare, minimalist treatment, compassion and wry, deadpan humour define this story about the tragicomic efforts of the titular teenager to make his way, against all the odds, to a party."
— Jonathan Holland, Screen International
"In these dark times, here is a film that shines a light and becomes urgent, even necessary, by simply providing a window into the humanity of a single family, one in many ways that is universal. Olmo gives us hope and lifts the heart."
— Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood Daily
"'Olmo' is a bittersweet little gem from this year’s Berlinale. It’s a beautifully directed and acted coming-of-age story that deserves to find a wider audience. Here’s hoping we don’t have to wait another twelve years for Eimbcke’s next film."
— Matthew Turner, Next Best Picture
