"Murray is infuriatingly, but resolutely endearing, his relationship with Jones credible and full of regret and heart. And Jones is compelling as a woman trying to remember if who she was is still who she is."
★★★★
- Terri White, Empire

"On the Rocks is the most grounded of Coppola’s films, though its wit and charm are just as plentiful. The director sets all her stories in hermetically sealed worlds of wealth and privilege, but her young characters have always been depicted as rare birds trapped in gilded cages – quite literally when it came to the housebound Lisbon sisters of The Virgin Suicides (1999)."
★★★★
- Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent

"On The Rocks is a small, strange film but it's rich in New York atmosphere, touching about the complexities of family relationships, and Murray and Jones are very sweet together."
★★★★
- Matthew Bond, The Mail on Sunday

"This voyage around a father navigates territory that often seems overly smooth. Luckily, Murray and Jones provide all the jagged edges we need."
★★★★
- Charlotte O'Sullivan, Evening Standard

"A film that knowingly lifts riffs from screwball capers and melancholy romcoms alike, writing love letters to the city of New York as it swirls from one upmarket fairytale locale to the next."
★★★★
- Mark Kermode, The Observer

"Sofia Coppola's latest rumination on ennui, drifting relationships and the rarified discontent of comfortable lives may be exactly the existential crisis you need right now."
★★★★
- Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

"Kudos to Coppola and her leading man. It takes guts to rewrite your biggest hit."
★★★★
- Danny Leigh, Financial Times

"Each scene is compact and feels lived in, without any urgent narrative drive. That elegant surface makes it seem like a trifle, but there are layers beneath."
★★★★
