	Author	Review
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"A strong drama that eschews melodramatic contrivance, making its points via cool (...) observation."	POS
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"As 'Working Woman' winds its way to a satisfying conclusion, it is an effective, generally gripping chronicle of how Orna’s difficulties compound"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Finely-drawn characters and the kind of grey-area scenario that may be uncomfortably familiar to many women make this a thought-provoking addition to the post #metoo conversation."	POS
United States	Elizabeth Kerr The Hollywood Reporter	"A slow-burning but ultimately empowering drama that works despite a lack of the bigger, louder, more outwardly emotional moments it could have succumbed to."	POS
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman The Wrap	"A film that feels very contemporary (...) [Aviad] and cinematographer Daniel Miller use long takes with a handheld camera to build a subtly effective sense of reality."	POS
United States	Pat Brown Slant	"A deeply and intentionally unsettling film. Like Benny, the tension creeps up on the viewer, and the stress ratchets up as Orna is forced into more and more impossible circumstances (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
