Scrambled may not break new ground in the indie rom-com genre, but it shows that Leah McKendrick is a confident voice behind and in front of the camera.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2025

McKendrick’s a dynamite writer and a deceptively great performer. When her direction catches up, watch out.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 22, 2024

The comedy-drama is about the pressure there is on a woman to have a child while she can.

| Original Score: B- | May 7, 2024

It’s hilariously bold and gorgeously warm, resulting in the kind of film that’s tailor-made for women in their thirties.

| Mar 13, 2024

A pretty egg-cellent representation of the invisible costs of fertility as a woman. Though slightly self-indulgent at times, the film handles a sensitive topic with much needed authenticity.

| Original Score: 3.9/5 | Feb 21, 2024

Scrambled is a fresh, witty but also moving perspective

| Feb 21, 2024

A charming comedy-drama. [Full review in Spanish]

Scrambled is an incredibly impressive showcase for director/writer/star Leah McKendrick, equally hilarious and heartfelt.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 16, 2024

Even though Scrambled occasionally stumbles into a cliché sitcom tone about a bachelorette in her 30s who's unhappy in her love life, this adult-oriented comedy has entertaining performances in this story about a single woman who wants to freeze her eggs.

Women in particular are going to get a lot out of this movie and while I didn’t love it, I admire McKendrick’s honesty and authenticity in conveying such a personal story in this way.

| Feb 12, 2024

The comedy “Scrambled” is an impressive tour de force for its writer, director and star, Leah McKendrick, who brashly and unapologetically tells a funny and warm-hearted story of one woman’s pursuit of her own child-bearing journey.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 10, 2024

Without getting overly sentimental or wallowing in cliches, Scrambled takes Nellie on a journey not just to find a partner but to find herself.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 9, 2024

With winning characters and honest humor, this offbeat indie, so clearly rooted in the challenges of being a modern woman, does what’s needed.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 8, 2024

McKendrick has created a funny, authentic movie that serves as a "what to expect when you're expecting to freeze your eggs" (aka oocyte cyropreservation).

| Feb 7, 2024

Leah McKendrick did a fantastic job for her directorial debut with this very personal and relatable story. Witty, funny, and emotional. Definitely worth checking out.

| Feb 6, 2024

Keep an eye on Leah McKendrick.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 6, 2024

A remarkable showcase for McKendrick, who provides a raw yet hilarious breakthrough performance.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 6, 2024

Scrambled, while a little runny, is a decently cooked egg that asks bigger questions about motherhood, choice and what it means to conceive a child with or without a partner.

| Feb 6, 2024

McKendrick’s feature speaks with a strong voice, and one that we don’t hear expressed with such realism, faults and all. It’s a funny comedy that unlike so many others stays true to itself, even in the end.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 6, 2024

Scrambled is not a preachy film about finding the right path in life. It never seeks to judge Nellie for her choices. McKendrick’s tone is joyfully quirky, like an assurance that no one has the right answers.
