Village Voice
Writer-director Clément Michel can't escape the usual infant-related movie pitfalls. - 25
Slant Magazine
What most rankles about the film is the way that its insistence on paternal instincts as the principal signifier of male adulthood leads it to sanction the most childlike behavior of all. - 25
New York Post
Set in the drab suburbs of Paris, The Stroller Strategy doesn’t even offer pretty backdrops. - 20
The New York Times
Mostly you root for Mr. Michel’s couple to reconnect simply so the movie will come to an end. - 20
Los Angeles Times
It's a goofy, episodic trifle designed to induce swoons among the saccharine who coo every time they see a cute guy, or a baby, or a cute guy holding a baby while watching YouTube videos about how to change a diaper.
