| FilmFestivals.comMoira SullivanSo why is Wiseman afraid to call this 'violence against women' in such a lengthy expose? |
| New York TimesElvis Mitchell10 minutes into the film you'll be white-knuckled and unable to look away. |
| TV GuideKen FoxWhile maintaining the appearance of clinical objectivity, this sad, occasionally horrifying but often inspiring film is among Wiseman's warmest. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonBe forewarned: The movie lasts three hours and 16 minutes, and nearly all of it deals with subjects that polite society (and even rude society) tends to ignore or evade. |
| User ReviewNaoko IF. Wiseman's film is always my favorite. Public housing is my best, but I couldnt find it in this search. So I guess the second comes, reasonably, domestic violence. |
| User ReviewMichael TChilling, unbiased look at a difficult subject. |
