Steve Pond TheWrap 3d
The film is infuriating and saddening; to the extent that it can find a small touch of grace and hope in the faces of the women facing impossible lives, it is a valuable act of defiance. Go to Full Review
Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 22h
The film doesn’t posit any answers to how the system can be reformed, but it does suggest that women are stronger when they stick together as a community against the violence that is inflicted upon at seemingly every turn. Go to Full Review
Stephen Saito Moveable Fest 2d
Although "Strawberries" is clearly the product of great intelligence, it never feels intimidating, giving a ground-level view of an issue that could be overwhelming in its scope. Go to Full Review
