PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Almost unbearably powerful documentary [According to TIME Magazine: the 10th best Movie of the year 2012]" (Richard Corliss: Time)

----------------------------------------
"The intense interviews and damning statistics (20 percent of all female personnel have experienced sexual assault) do the work of whipping up outrage" (Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly)

----------------------------------------
"Every adult who owes a debt of gratitude to American soldiers should see Kirby Dick's heartbreaking documentary about sexual violence in the military. Rating: **** (out of four)" (Elizabeth Weitzman: New York Daily News)

----------------------------------------
"Kirby Dick's shocking investigation into widespread sexual assault in the U.S. military is an urgent call to action" (David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter)

----------------------------------------
"The film's implication (...) is that a strong military doesn't favor crybabies, that a certain degree of rape is unavoidable - and inevitably, that some women may have been asking for it. Rating: *** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)
