In the Media:

“Rockwell uses the full range of cinematic expressivity to turn a small, often tragic story of raw deals and rash decisions into an admiring portrait of survivorship, determination and resourcefulness.” Jessica Kiang, Variety

“Well-acted and compelling.” David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

“Watching a ferociously protective and streetwise mother try to beat the system and raise a son who will have more opportunities than she is so compelling. Taylor's searing portrayal of that woman is Oscar-worthy.” Dwight Brown, DwightBrownInk.com
