What to Know

Critics Consensus

Dazzling, but a little dull, ANIARA's impeccable production design is undermined by its underwhelming philosophical pondering.

Wendy Ide Guardian A haunting allegorical tale, Aniara warns of humanity hurtling in the wrong direction and realising too late that there is no turning back. Rated: 4/5 Aug 31, 2019 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian A cold, cruel, piercingly humane sci-fi parable that's both bang on the zeitgeist and yet also unnervingly original. Rated: 4/5 Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe "Aniara" may be the coolest, costliest, most dystopian shaggy-dog story ever filmed. Rated: 2.5/4 May 24, 2019 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Kågerman and Lilja craft a visionary film—one that is profoundly despairing yet also worthy of comparison to the great existential space epics Rated: 4/4 Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Dallas King Flick Feast A deep, probing meditation on the acceptance of one’s place in the universe... Aniara might be a ship without a destination but this film is ultimately destined to become a timeless sci-fi classic. Rated: 5/5 Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema As interesting as "Aniara" is to think about, the movie isn't exactly an engaging watch. Rated: 3/5 Mar 8, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Chris K This is not your typical sci-fi movie. It has excellent cinematography, direction, writing and acting. The ending is not what you'd expect in a movie, but probably what you'd expect in reality. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review SkyRo P Aniara is a sci-fi film currently streaming on Disney+. After watching it, I found the direction to be quite disjointed. The narrative jumped around so much that it was difficult to fully grasp the overarching concept of the film. The performances were lackluster, feeling more like placeholders than genuine portrayals. The actors seemed to be filling space in a storyline that never really materialized, likely due to a confused screenplay that struggled to establish a coherent direction. Overall, I didn't enjoy the film and wouldn't recommend it. It simply didn't resonate with me, and I found it hard to stay engaged throughout, regardless of how I tried to approach it. It ultimately fell flat. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review 누텔라 D+ when i think of a movie that wasted my precious time I'll never get back,this will be it. The film begged to be taken seriously at the beginning but halfway through the director was more interested in bringing out their own adult fantasies and in most distasteful manner. totally lost the plot and i skipped to the ending. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Jonathan S It's a good story but it did feel slow. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Alessandro A Il film è girato con tecniche che oggi sembrano arcaiche. La storia è piena di incongruenze. Come si può pensare di usare oggetti usa a e getta su di una nave spaziale? E' lento, il ritmo inesistente. Due ore e passa buttate. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Paul V Wonderful film about purpose and home. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
