Reviews

John Hartl

Seattle Times

Written and directed by German filmmaker Sherry Hormann, it works as well as it does because of the performances she's drawn from a solid cast.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

It has a compelling message and surrounds it with biopic scenes that appear to be brought in from a different kind of movie. The effect is rather unsettling.

Rex Reed

Observer

Waris Dirie is an inspiration, inside and out, and so is this movie.
