	Author	Review
United States	Beandrea July The Hollywood Reporter	"'Juanita' wants to be so many things: road movie, rom-com, a middle-aged woman’s coming-of-age tale (...) But a script that needed a couple more drafts holds the film and its talented ensemble cast back."	NEU
United States	Candice Frederick The New York Times	"It soars when it allows its lead to explore the complexities of love and unbridled joy. And Woodard completely owns it."	POS
United Kingdom	Hubert Adjei-Kontoh The Guardian	"It’s an overstuffed movie flirting with genre, not fully deciding whether it should be some sort of PSA or an indie comedy or a television pilot"	NEG
United States	Jordan Hoffman TV Guide	"[It] is here to remind us that Alfre Woodard is a gem, even if the movie isn't (...) I just think this is a case of relying a little too much on an audience falling in love with the characters"	NEU
United States	Monica Castillo rogerebert.com	"[It] doesn’t know where it’s going or why it’s going where it goes (...) The only thing keeping this movie from completely driving off the road is Alfre Woodard (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
