WION's film critic Kshitij Mohan Rawattwrote in his review that ''the film is both a departure and a homage to creepy doll movies like Annabelle and Chucky franchises.''
He wrote further: "M3GAN is a joy from start to finish, irrespective of your general opinion on creepy doll movies." The titular doll is a thing of dark majesty and a far cry from the mostly passive dolls in other horror media. The design is extremely careful and deliberate to evoke a sense of the uncanny valley instead of hyperrealism. M3GAN's eyes look shadowed and always seem to possess a devilish intelligence that is far beyond human capacity. The doll is frightening in a primal way, and way before it actually begins to wreak havoc.'' Read the full review here.
