Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 05/08/2003
[Reno] delivers a monologue that manages to incorporate both the horror and the absurdity of the situation in a well-balanced fashion. Go to Full Review
Megan Lehmann New York Post 05/02/2003
2/4
When [Reno] lets her radical flag fly, taking angry potshots at George W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, Larry King, et al., Reno devolves into a laugh-free lecture. Go to Full Review
Stephen Holden New York Times 05/01/2003
3/5

Jan Stuart The Advocate 05/04/2022

The film delivers not just the full assault of Reno's immense wit and insight, but a time travel back to what it felt like during those unforgettably uncertain days. Go to Full Review
