An impressive showcase for writer-director-star Leah McKendrick, Scrambled takes a humorous yet heartfelt approach to emotionally charged subject matter.

3/4

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.

Nellie's world may feel scrambled, but McKendrick knows where she is going and how to take us with her.

3/5

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.

B+

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

B-

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

I really was enjoying the first 30 to 45 minutes. I thought it was slow and took a while to find its rhythm. The guy in the back testing out all of the seats certainly didn’t help either. After that I actually started to like it a little. Went from two stars to 3 1/2 overall, I really like the actor who plays the dad

To say this movie is really bad would be an understatement. I struggled to get through this movie. It's so bad.

I clicked on Scrambled while I was searching for a background movie, and instead found one of the best films I’ve seen in a long time. Leah McKendrick is an undeniable force as writer, director, and lead. It’s beautifully shot, filling every second with moments that are sharp, raw, funny, and deeply empathetic. This film pulled me into an emotional honesty that so few films ever achieve. She wins at capturing the full female experience. Definitely was not a background movie. She had my full attention. Can’t wait for more from the great Madame McKendrick.
