Film Reviews

"A bittersweet corrective, a tribute to a trailblazer long overdue her flowers."

–Monica Castillo, RogerEbert.com

"It’s as much about its form as its content; what it says is demonstrated by how it says it. The resulting film is engrossing — and it’s also profound."

–Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times

"This is a very intimate film, one that really speaks to who Matlin is... much more than just a highlight reel of Matlin’s accomplishments, but those are still sufficiently worth celebrating."

–Abe Friedtanzer, Awards Buzz
