| KyleSmithOnline.comKyle SmithIn paying homage to Eric Rohmer, the master of bourgeois moral dilemmas, Noah Baumbach has in many ways improved on perfection. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThough well acted by Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Jason Leigh, this overly fractured tale--more like Scenes from Sisters Rivalry--represents a step down for the gifted writer-director Baumbach after Squid and the Whale, his best work to date. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonNo filmmaker keeps the seething anger of severely dysfunctional families as dangerously close to the surface as Noah Baumbach. Particularly while in the process of making a comedy, if that's what his films are. |
| Stream on DemandSean AxmakerWhile Margot's casual cruelty and the scenes of squirmy discomfort are sometimes painful to watch, the rendering of this disastrous family reunion is seriously, savagely droll. |
| Filmcritic.comChris Barsantia smart and honestly ugly film, with well-toned dialogue and an acute understanding of neurotic compulsion... a minor piece of work |
| Film ThreatNiki FosterA brilliantly executed film that, like many real-life family reunions, is alternately painful, funny, and moving. |

| PremiereGlenn KennyMargot is a fleet, strangely enjoyable film, animated by the acuity of Baumbach's perceptions and -- this helps a lot -- the frequent laugh-out-loud wit of his dialogue. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Andrew WrightBrilliantly astringent ... To watch it is to see a filmmaker at the absolute top of his game, even if this particular game probably shouldn't be topped. |
