	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"A hugely promising debut (...) A moving twist on the genre (...) that the film offers viewers Schwarzenegger as they’ve never seen him before"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Zombies, Arnold Schwarzenegger and a certain Terrence Malick je ne sais quoi — what could go wrong? More or less everything in this low-budget head-scratcher"	NEG
United States	Michael Ordoña SFGATE	"The interesting but flawed “Maggie” is billed as a horror film, but it’s really more an indie drama with horror elements. (...) Schwarzenegger gives what is clearly the best performance of his long career"	NEU
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	The film suffers a bit for its slowness. But once you get used to the fact that this is not 'World War Z,' it has its small pleasures, which are both cerebral and emotional.	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Schwarzenegger rises to the challenge of a role that focuses on the interior life of a man in crisis (...) Gore is kept to a minimum, a fact likely to disappoint audiences out for blood (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A terminal-illness family drama in which the ailment happens to be zombieism (...) Maggie does the genre mashup thing without an ounce of tongue-in-cheek attitude"	NEU
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Downbeat but humanistic, Maggie is the rare zombie tale that's less about the appetites of the walking dead and more about their complicated emotions (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Tom Long Detroit News	"The problem, aside from not much going on, is that Schwarzenegger remains a severely limited actor, so there's not that much character to study. Potentially interesting concept; wrong star"	NEU
