Slashfilm
A sharp, laugh out loud crowd-pleaser, Palm Springs could end up being the funniest film of 2020. But it’s not a mindless comedy. It tackles some profound topics amid the laughs, interrogating the sustainability of long-term relationships and exploring how a seemingly awful situation might be aided by a change in perspective. - 83
The Film Stage
The script, from Andy Siara, never loses momentum. - 83
IndieWire
The overarching plot of Palm Springs isn’t especially novel, but each scene is just sweet, funny, and demented enough to feel like a little surprise. - 83
The A.V. Club
It turns out to be something kind of special in its own right: a modern rom-com that’s funny and inventive and sweet and totally mainstream and a little deranged all at once. - 83
Consequence
The most important thing is that it’s funny and charming in all the right ways, a slight but sweet meditation on the viability of long-term relationships. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
Pointlessness, isolation and the guarantee that no one will ever understand your plight may not sound like the makings of a laugh-filled heartwarmer, but in the hands of Barbakow and screenwriter Andy Siara, it is.
