Leave your thoughts about 93Queen.
| Movie NationRoger MooreHere’s a “feel good” film that puts us through our share of feeling bad before it delivers its triumph. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly Vance93Queen (the title is an emergency dispatchers' tag line) is a rip-roaring "only in America" success story. |
| AWFJ Women on FilmSandie Angulo Chen93Queen is a feel-good movie about religious women who wouldn't take no for an answer, and their persistence is wonderful to celebrate. |
| Village VoiceJordan Hoffman'93Queen' joins the long and expanding list of bad documentaries covering a fantastic subject. |
| Film InquiryBecky Kukla93Queenoffers a window into a closed off community and a chance to be inspired by the work that these women are doing to make the world a better place for their neighbours, friends and the wider world. |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergWithout denying that these women face discrimination in reaching their goal, the movie shows how its subjects are able to find ways to combine strict observance and progress. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonAn enormously entertaining portrait of Hasidic women who started their own all-female EMS team in Brooklyn. Eye-opening and stereotype-shattering. |
| NOW TorontoSusan G. ColeWhat at first looks like a straightforward story about plucky Hasidic women battling to create an all-female emergency force in Brooklyn turns into something much more complex. |
| TheArtsStlSarah Boslaugh...offers a fascinating (and not always flattering) look into a community that generally keeps to itself, as well as a compelling portrait of Rachel Freier, who led the women's efforts... |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank Scheck93Queen is rough-hewn technically and, although it includes brief interviews with several other members of the female EMT corps, it would have benefited from a wider focus. But it's excusable that the filmmaker would concentrate so much on her central figure, whose fierce intelligence and indomitable spirit render her truly inspirational. |
