Carrie Autostraddle It's funny, touching, visually rich, and only slightly too syrupy toward the end. Aug 17, 2021 Full Review s.e. smith Bitch Media It's too simplistic to say that I found it offensive because of the nondisabled cast, but it's also true that I am reluctant to praise the things it does well because of this singular inescapable problem. Feb 11, 2021 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times There's a lot to appreciate about the inspiring coming-of-age drama "Margarita With a Straw" despite several seemingly avoidable flaws. May 19, 2016 Full Review Sharanya Kumar Film Companion That this film was made in a time when openly queer characters and relationships were far from mainstream in Hindi cinema makes it that much more special. Nov 13, 2023 Full Review Michael Cuby them. Few films can pull off a story as proudly inclusive as Margarita with a Straw... Oct 31, 2022 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel Sensitivity and restraint are the film's greatest strengths. Rated: 3/5 Apr 12, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
