Leave your thoughts about Maya Dardel.
| Film InquiryChloe WalkerWhilst it has many problems, Maya Dardel is a fascinating film, if not an enjoyable one. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[Its] feminist boldness crosses into the exhilarating. This is an unapologetic dare to accept a woman, with all her genius and all her faults - all her humanity - on full defiant display. |
| Paste MagazineAmy GlynnThe main issue is that the story, while reasonably interesting, is not as interesting as the setup would like you to imagine, and that in such a context, Lena Olin is way too powerful for it. She not only overwhelms her young executor-suitors but the entire movie. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyWhere Maya Dardel really works is when it sticks to being a character study. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoA film that only serves as a reminder that Lena Olin can still deliver a fantastic performance, even if it's buried in a piece of overwritten nonsense. |
| IndiewireKate ErblandOlin, at turns daringly open and frustratingly restrained, makes Maya entirely her own, the focal point and reason for the film itself. |
| Bust MagazineDeborah KriegerPerhaps it's not the most exciting or invigorating film, but as a thesis statement, it's certainly worthwhile. |
| The New York TimesTeo BugbeeFor all the linguistic gymnastics, the film is hamstrung by its directors’ lack of visual imagination. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenOlin could not be more commanding. It's a powerful performance in the service of a movie that's by turns off-putting, bracingly incisive and insufferable. |
| Screen InternationalTim GriersonThe proceedings are often stifling, but not without their prickly pleasures. |
