Reviews
“Julianne Moore and Ellen Page deliver two terrific performances. You get a strong sense of the bond and connection that existed between their respective characters.” – ABC Radio Brisbane
“Page impresses as Stacie, a private, apolitical woman who goes public for the sake of the woman she loves. Shannon also delivers the goods as a straight cop who likewise rises to the occasion.” – Winnipeg Free Press
“Director Peter Sollett wisely keeps the focus on the two very private women at the center of a storm that never should have broken.” – Boston Herald
