It’s taken a long time getting here from across the Pond, but some things are worth waiting for. A wonderful, witty and weird spin on an old favourite, which seems destined to become a classic itself. Read full review

The movie is so light on its feet that it never feels forced or didactic, even when it asks us to confront piercing truths about love and the elusive meaning of happiness. Read full review

What makes the movie fly are the interlocking energies of its leading players, Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti. Read full review

Using Barbakow’s direction and Andy Siara’s script as filters, Palm Springs presents viewers with a blend of soft science fiction, raucous punchlines, and human drama, the last of these encompassing self-loathing, grief, love and high anxiety. Read full review

It plays into the dystopian fantasy of being able to reinvent yourself in a lawless world, delivering a clever tale about what it takes for someone who's not a part of existence to want to reengage with life. Read full review

Palm Springs would have been a scream and likely a word-of-mouth hit in theaters, but maybe there’s something fitting about its going straight to streaming in the middle of a pandemic. What is quarantine, anyway, if not waking up and going through the same routine over and over without end? Read full review

The Guardian Benjamin Lee

It’s a goofy, drunken scrap of escapism and while the romantic comedy is not fully back, despite think pieces assuring us that it is, Palm Springs energetically reminds us, yet again, that it’s never really going away. Read full review

First of all, Andy Samberg e Cristin Milioti estão excelentes e carregam o filme numa facilidade enorme. Todo elenco está muito bem, mas o carisma de ambos é contagiante e sem igual. Eles se dão bem em cenas cômicas, dramáticas e até mesmo profundas, porque o filme tem dessas e a abordagem da mesma traz um gosto agridoce muito bem balanceado.

Os diálogos já são ótimos o suficiente pra te prender em tela. Todo o comportamento do protagonista já era peculiar, mas depois do plot, tudo vira de cabeça pra baixo. Lembro de me sentir surpreso, pois eu não sabia se o que está vendo era real - não ler a sinopse nunca foi tão bom. A dinâmica do longa muda, o que abre portas para um ritmo gostoso e ao mesmo tempo preocupante. O espaço dado as emoções de ambos foi o suficiente, inclusive, a cena de raiva da Cristin Milioti após ser presa é FENOMENAL. Eu amo vê-la atuar, e toda saudade desde HIMYM foi bem restaurada. E é claro que não posso deixar de citar a LEGENDARIA referencia a serie [no momento do primeiro tremor]. É um presente e tanto aos fans.

O humor é bem versátil. Por vezes sutil, ou exagerado, em alguns momentos quase **** Por fim, eu amei e cai na gargalhada em vários momentos. Gostei muito da Meredith Hagner como uma patricinha antipática. Mesmo que seja um estereotipo, não significa que seja fácil de lidar. Não do modo como ela fez. J. K. Simmons é um ator marcante, e é sempre bom vê-lo em tela . Aqui o mesmo não decepciona.

O trabalho referente ao enredo, quanto a parte de ficção cientifica, é bem adaptada. para evitar furos, o filme exige uma suspensão da descrença e algumas perguntas sem respostas. Comigo deu certo, além do mais, o filme nunca me prometeu isso.… Expand

This is a hit for me. Very funny and fun. Sandberg and Milloti have great chemistry. Bonus JK Simmons. Not a lot of fat on this, but plenty of heart. Tiny resemblance to Groundhog Day, but that's it. Neat take on the loop trope.

Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti do an excellent job portraying these characters with imperfections who learn to love each other through a weird situation. They both have excellent chemistry as well which really contributes to romances in general. The other performances are all right except J.K. Simmons who I also felt was excellent here. The film has some issues in pacing and some of the effects but it’s so investing and entertaining. Most time loop movies take themselves seriously sometimes with the exception of this and Groundhogs Day. Palm Springs understands how dumb these movies can be and goes out of its way to be funny and most of the time, the humor works. For a first feature, Max Barbakow knocks it out of the park with his direction. It’s well written and well shot with plenty of interesting ideas about how we live our life and love. Check this out on Hulu when you get the chance.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. clever romantic comedy with a 'flavour of the month' time loop conumdrum. time loop is this piece was quite relevant because it ties in well with the script. don't we all in long term relationship sometimes feel like we are in a time loop. everyday feels the same but why we still stuck together and maybe sometimes still love each other.
catch it for the superb script and comedic chemistry. could not give it a 7 due to the superfluous vulgarity… Expand

Great beginning, woefully bad for the entire second half. Such a waste of potential. How can you justify putting so much work and creativity into the excellent first half of this movie only to finish it with some bland romcom/"qUaNtUm PhYsIcS" deus ex machina garbage???
