A film that takes the unusual metaphor of contemporary man as living hologram until unexpected limit consequences. [Full review in Spanish]

It has a certain amount of charm, mostly thanks to the cast, but ultimately A Hologram for the King is a little underwhelming.

Not even the mighty Tom Hanks can save this scattershot adaptation of Dave Eggers' lost-soul novel

Hologram tries your patience a bit, but its leading man carries it, like he always bloody does.

If it sounds like Hologram is basically about a middle-aged white guy getting his groove back in the Middle East, well, yes, it is that. But if you squint hard enough, it's also a little bit more.

It looks expensive and comes off bland.

It's a sweet, deliberately meandering movie, and it took me a while to connect with it. But it won me over because ultimately it conveys so well that feeling of estrangement that is both terrifying and comic for any farflung traveler.

To describe this as a movie about a mediocre businessman biding his time before an appointment probably makes it sound more exciting than it is.

A Hologram for the King features Tykwer's known style of repetition and alternative music choices, and is a sad misfire.

Frequently, Hologram plays like a good Mad Men episode, with Don Draper feeling his age and swallowing his moral corrosion in the name of a job and his family.

It's hard to imagine a more Tom Hanks-y setup than this.

Strand Hanks on a desert island, a pirate ship or in a well-intentioned film without much focus and he'll still find a way of turning it around.
