	Author	Review
United States	Geoff Berkshire Variety	"Page is simply superb (...) Janney rises here nearly to the level of co-lead (...) [A] graceful mix of smart comedy and human drama."	POS
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"'Tallulah' admirably challenges received wisdom about maternal feelings. It also takes gutsy risks with potentially dislikeable main characters (...) played with bravura skill by the three leads."	POS
United Kingdom	Nigel M. Smith The Guardian	"Ellen Page and Allison Janney make magic in baby drama (...) the story has the makings of a Lifetime movie; what grounds it are the terrific performances and Heder’s rich direction and screenplay (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Russ Fischer IndieWire	"An impressive feature debut, and a welcome showcase for the talents of Page, Janney, and Blanchard"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"An often funny and moving drama about two disparate characters (...) This film mostly overcomes its unevenness by finding rich pockets of emotion and insight"	POS
