The writers' fervor for experimentation coupled with Hiro Murai's gauzy, fantastical directing style make this one of the few places on TV where anything can happen, and more often than not, the big swings work. Go to Full Review Quinci LeGardye AV Club 10/29/2022

While the episode is somewhat sleepy, it’s nice to see Earn and Van’s relationship grow and evolve to this point. Go to Full Review Khal Davenport The Ringer 11/16/2022
If Atlanta had one more heater left in the chamber; one more “step-out” or risk to take before closing out their awe-inspiring time on television? Let’s go out with an “examination” of a film that legitimately has held a place in the community. Go to Full Review Brian Richards Pajiba 11/01/2022

4.5/5
