Critic Reviews

Boyd van Hoeij, european-films.net
Has an impeccable technical package and unsullied performances, but its plot proceeds at the sluggish speed of the voyage across the Atlantic it so painstakingly portrays.

Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile
Brides is a moving insight into many lives at their crossroads, young women sent by their families to the New World in the hope of a better life.
