Miller's characters are complete, singular people, and her take is thoroughly female. She subverts the genre, and wakes it up.
Johanna Schneller, Globe and Mail

"Maggie's Plan" is Gerwig's show, and once again she proves to be one of the screen's most engaging presences.
Adam Graham, Detroit News

Maggie's plan may or may not work out. But as a smart, perceptive commentary on modern times, "Maggie's Plan" succeeds beautifully.
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Something between Shakespeare, Woody Allen and Noah Baumbach, a cautionary tale filled with Manhattanite wit and small moments that have the ring of truth.
