	Author	Review
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"'My Darling Vivian' relates a little-known love story, great in its own right (...) And it offers a nuanced portrait, loving but not fawning, of a complex woman."	POS
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"An exceptional documentary that separates fact from myth while telling the story of Johnny Cash’s first wife."	POS
United States	Kristen Yoonsoo Kim The New York Times	"[Its] revelations are illuminating, but too much of the film harps on the same points about how Liberto was underappreciated"	NEU
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"An unmistakably loving and sensitive portrait, an imperfect but impassioned attempt to makes the case that the easy Johnny Cash narrative is missing an important figure"	POS
United States	Peter Sobczynski rogerebert.com	"Matt Riddlehoover presents a portrait of Vivian that is far more complex and detailed than has ever been seen before (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
