The Guardian by Andrew Pulver

Margarita, With a Straw is a sturdily conceived, emotionally direct drama.

Variety by Dennis Harvey

Overall, Margarita, With a Straw is an unexpected delight of charm and substance.

Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein

Koechlin gives such a remarkably warm, expressive performance (she and Gupta are non-disabled) it’s hard not to be captivated by much of this tender, if choppy film.

The Hollywood Reporter by Leslie Felperin

Director Bose handles the material with a light, elegant touch. It helps that the cast, especially the remarkable Koechlin who gives a bravura performance in both physical and emotional terms, can carry it all off.
