"A charmer in the truest sense of the term by getting to watch Freeman break out and have a lot of fun alongside one of the most beautiful and exciting actresses hopefully starting to get her due in America."

"Deserves all the praise that’s been spread out over Lee’s career into a collective achievement that is both stunningly powerful and delivers the message that has been lacking of late in so many “message” movies."
