	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"[It is] a Hansen-Love affair: from its gentle and meandering narrative to its fine sense of detail to its tender chronicle of a character gradually overcoming trauma and seeing life anew."	POS
United States	Jason Bailey The Playlist	"'Maya' is full of the kind of tiny, keenly observed moments that make Løve such a special filmmaker (...) This is the first film she’s made that I didn’t immediately want to see again"	NEU
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"This is the first stumble in Hansen-Løve’s hitherto impressive filmography (...) It’s disappointing to see the director this incurious about her chosen milieu"	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A beguiling story of romance and rootlessness (...) [It] cements her reputation as one of the best filmmakers alive"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Although Gabriel is a sympathetic figure (...) we’re not gripped with the same sense of tragedy or disillusionment that underscores Hansen-Løve’s finest work."	NEU
	Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"A beautiful love story that Mia Hansen-Løve develops by allowing the nuances of her vast story enough time to develop. Maya is a visually rich and aesthetically accomplished film"	POS
