The AtlanticDavid SimsJan 12, 2023
Yes, Gerard Johnstone’s M3GAN is pulled from January’s bucket of mostly low-budget pablum, but it’s cheeky and knowing enough to stand out from the slop. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Alison WillmoreJan 6, 2023
M3gan’s reach is never in danger of exceeding its grasp. It wants only to provide a diverting 100-odd minutes of horror comedy, with a heavy emphasis on the comedy. Read full review

BBCNicholas BarberJan 4, 2023
The chilling fact is that the real world has overtaken the one in the film. If you read any article about how AI is creeping into our lives these days, then M3GAN's killing spree will seem quaintly innocuous in comparison. Read full review

Original-CinThom ErnstJan 9, 2023
Johnstone knows his way around dark comedy, and camouflages much of the film's humour in whimsical, sometimes uneasy, encounters between M3GAN and Cady. But in directing the film's most comedic characters — an overtly judgmental childcare worker, a nosy neighbour (Lori Dungey) with an unruly dog, and a schoolyard bully—he sets a tone that feels incompatible with the rest of the characters.

San Francisco ChronicleCarla MeyerJan 5, 2023
At its titanium core, M3GAN is a mostly on-the-mark commentary on our tech dependence. Read full review
