Critic Reviews

Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com
Engrossing drama.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
A daring drama about a courageous and resourceful wife who proves herself to be a champion of love.
Michael W. Phillips, Jr., Goatdog's Movies
The presentation was lackluster and stilted, and despite the fact that it had a good cast and what might have been an interesting premise, it never really moved me.
