	Media	Author	Review
		Samantha Bergeson IndieWire	"A new anthem for those facing the thirty-something female millennial crisis (...) The filmmaker and star behind the dramedy 'Scrambled' shines"
		Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times	"A charming comedy-drama"
		Damon Wise Deadline	"McKendrick set herself a high bar to start with, and it’s to her credit that 'Scrambled' comes with the promise of more and better to follow"
		David Crow Den of Geek	"[It] is a bracing comedy where McKendrick works through some personal therapy by way of sardonic one-liners and gags in a rapid-fire script"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"It never loses sight of its sincerity, and McKendrick uses this space to lovingly illuminate, if not destigmatize a fertility option not given nearly as much visibility as other choices"
		Jessica Kiang Variety	"A debut that starts out hardboiled but ultimately goes over easy"
		Ethan Anderton SlashFilm	"A fiercely funny film about the complexities of female fertility"
		Nell Minow rogerebert.com	"Nellie's world may feel scrambled, but McKendrick knows where she is going and how to take us with her (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Laura Bradley The Daily Beast	"Although the film itself can feel a little undercooked, especially toward the end, McKendrick's performance will leave you wanting more"
		Brandon Zachary CBR	"An incredibly impressive showcase for director/writer/star Leah McKendrick, equally hilarious and heartfelt"
		Ferdosa Abdi Screen Rant	"McKendrick fills her film with humor that strikes a balance (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Adam Graham Detroit News	"A coming-of-age story for the mid-30s set"
