	Author	Review
United States	Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"An engaging and harrowingly topical drama (...) A strong debut feature (...) built around an excellent, harrowingly sensitive lead performance by Malina Manovici"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"The director drew on her own experiences (...) for her lean but tightly plotted screenplay (...) 'Lemonade' remains effective and agitating precisely where it needs to be"	POS
United Kingdom	Demetrios Matheou Screendaily	"Topicality alone doesn’t make for convincing drama (...) [It] stretches credibility, and patience with its characters, to such a degree as to largely undo its potential."	NEG
	Stefan Dobroiu Cineuropa	"'Lemonade' goes to a dark place we don’t usually visit when discussing the move to another country"	POS
Canada	Martin Kudlac Screen Anarchy	"[Uricaru] manages to make 'Lemonade' (...) even more topical due to its wide angle and strong political echoes in the zeitgeist-y mould."	POS
