Maggie's reviews
Media reviews
Rolling Stone
In his debut as a feature director, British graphic designer Henry Hobson takes a solemn, subtly affecting approach (...) (Schwarzenegger) He does himself proud with a heartfelt performance that is surely his gentlest, most humane screen acting.
Variety
With limited resources and no obviously elaborate effects work, Hobson and his production team have convincingly constructed a Middle America that appears to be decaying (...)' Maggie' is still, at its very tender heart, a zombie movie after all.
USA Today
Downbeat but humanistic, 'Maggie' is the rare zombie tale that's less about the appetites of the walking dead and more about their complicated emotions.
The Washington Post
The film suffers a bit for its slowness. But once you get used to the fact that this is not ?World War Z,? it has its small pleasures, which are both cerebral and emotional.
El País
The inability to distill the melancholy that pervades the story in true stylistic identity hurts a film which, however, reveals consistent and relentless in all their narrative decisions.
The Hollywood Reporter
A terminal-illness family drama in which the ailment happens to be zombieism, Henry Hobson's Maggie does the genre mashup thing without an ounce of tongue-in-cheek attitude.
New York Times
Zombies, Arnold Schwarzenegger and a certain Terrence Malick je ne sais quoi ? what could go wrong? More or less everything in this low-budget head-scratcher and periodic knee-slapper.
