"...a haunting portrayal of that moment between girlhood and womanhood. It's moving and very real."
Dr. Arlie Hochschild
Sociology, University of California

"One of the best films I've seen on women's issues, perspectives, and sexism."
Kent Koppelman
Education Foundation, La Crosse, Wisconsin

"...provides a tapestry of women's voices, inviting the audience to identify at will and develop a sense of mutuality."
