Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Palm Springs adds meaning to the seeming meaninglessness of life, with infectious fun and introspective pleasure to boot.”
Robert Daniels, The Playlist · 100
“Palm Springs is the perfect kind of art-comedy. It comes on like a brilliantly silly little lark and eventually lands on you like a ton of bricks.”
Vince Mancini, Uproxx · 100
“Pain is a necessary ingredient in any successful comedy. The trick, which Barbakow and Siara seem to have mastered on their very first try, is to find the misery of the right kind and intensity, to imply tears that match the laughter.”
A.O. Scott, The New York Times · 100
“It’s taken a long time getting here from across the Pond, but some things are worth waiting for. A wonderful, witty and weird spin on an old favourite, which seems destined to become a classic itself.”
Nick de Semlyen, Empire · 100
“It’s assuredly directed with a consistent visual tone, and the cast is absolutely dynamite, especially Samberg and Milioti, who have never been better.”
Bobby LePire, Film Threat · 95

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
