Critic Reviews for The Pearl

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (2)

  • There are many powerful moments, and one can't help but empathize with the four women as they experience their travails and triumphs. Their courage is often astonishing, as is their outlook.

  • They deserve to have their voices heard, and not simply muffled by The Pearl.

    Guardian

  • Though it achieves a remarkable intimacy with its subjects, this study of four transgender women falls short of its intended power.

    Scott Tobias

    Variety

  • A downbeat but sincere work.

    Lora Grillo

    The Playlist

  • The Pearl isn't some late-night infomercial selling transgender rights to an uneducated audience. It simply wishes to show trans humanity.

    Willamette Week

  • The doc tends to wander, focusing more on the women's everyday lives. But when they travel and are free from the strictures of their closets inside their home communities, you see how beautiful real freedom can be.
