96% on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Extraordinary" - San Francisco Chronicle

"Easily one of the best comedies of the year." - London Evening Standard

"Rich performances collide with big ideas, wrapped in a nuanced understanding of how we treat each other. And there are **** jokes. So many wonderful, dumb **** jokes. What more could you ask for?" - Independent (UK)

"Yes, the movie is a metaphysical multiverse galaxy-brain head trip, but deep down — and also right on the surface — it’s a bittersweet domestic drama, a marital comedy, a story of immigrant striving and a hurt-filled ballad of mother-daughter love." - NY Times
