Reviews

Tom Hanks once again reminds us that he is the quintessential American everyman with a deeply affecting turn as the symbol of modern American enterprise.

Andrea Chase, Killer Movie Reviews

'A Hologram for a King' is that fine and rare thing, a comedy that makes profound observations with the lightest of touches.

Writer-director Tykwer skillfully presents a series of fantastical scenes in a way that has us thinking: Sure, that could happen. This is quite simply a beautiful film to behold.
