Critic Reviews

David Sterritt

To its credit, the movie has as little patience for nonessential nonsense as the women it portrays. Read full review

Jonathan Foreman

A quietly compelling documentary that is refreshing in both form and content. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Lacking the overall drama of "Startup.com" or "e-Dreams," pic more than compensates with skillful presentation and the fascinating power of its subjects, femme movers and shakers who perform high-wire juggling acts between their personal and professional lives every day. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

In the end, you're left to pick your moral: Money changes everything or money isn't everything or both. Read full review

Laura Sinagra

Holder and Parker tread lightly on issues of sexism, and sex in general, and leave us wishing more questions were asked. Read full review

Scott Tobias

For all the film's aggressive crosscutting, the individual stories would work just as well apart as together, because they pack less cumulative power when yoked awkwardly into one sweeping statement. Read full review

A.O. Scott
