“As a crime film it’s a mild diversion, but nothing special. As a metaphor for women struggling to find a place in the world, it takes some surprising turns.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“…a thoughtful movie that celebrates those who persevere over injustice, but also allows us to see what’s being done in our name.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
