- 83IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandOlin, at turns daringly open and frustratingly restrained, makes Maya entirely her own, the focal point and reason for the film itself.

- 75Paste MagazineAmy GlynnPaste 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.

- 50Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenLos 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.
- 40Village VoiceSerena DonadoniVillage VoiceSerena DonadoniIs Maya Dardel serious? The regal Lena Olin plays her with frank ferocity and arrogant certainty, but so much about the grandiose poet borders on parody.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterKeith UhlichThe Hollywood ReporterKeith UhlichOlin never wavers in her commitment. She's often extraordinary in individual moments.
