Film Reviews

"Delicious. An exceptional work that’s greater than its ingredients, sandwiching politics, commerce, and the joys of childhood all into one package."

–Jason Gorber, POV Magazine

"Cookie Queens serves up an eminently accessible and easily meme-able serving of American-girl cuteness, featuring a diverse cast of well-chosen young women."

–Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter

"In a cozy, yet informative documentary, filmmaker Alysa Nahmias takes us into a coming-of-age story in the making. We enter a story that is less about Thin Mints and more about sisterhood, expectations, and ambition." 

–Phil Walsh, Geek Vibes Nation
