United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"The pic proves stronger on uplifting, albeit predictable, drama than dealing with the complexities of its subject matter."	NEU
United Kingdom	Ellen E. Jones The Guardian	"Uzo Aduba has all the talent to play activist Virginia Walden gets but is let down a script uninterested in the issues it depicts (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The movie's effort to separate a feel-good story from its political foundation does not earn it a passing grade (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Noel Murray AV Club	"Aduba’s impassioned speeches about fairness and opportunity are undeniably moving. But the spotlight the film attempts to shine on a complicated subject ends up being blinding, obliterating all nuance."	NEU
