	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"The performances go a long way toward camouflaging the screenplay's clunky mechanics"	NEU
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"It should be warmly greeted by grown-up moviegoers seeking adult but not overly weighty material"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Awkwardly balanced between comedy and significance, with plotting that gets increasingly schematic and unconvincing, My Old Lady is bound and determined to get more serious than it is capable of sustaining"	NEG
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"Its translation from stage to screen looks to have been a bit rocky, and the film never manages to transcend its actors-workshop aura and develop into something deeper"	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"The setup might seem familiar and charming, but this film's payoffs come from unexpected places and require an audience's willingness to travel down some dark and rocky paths"	POS
