Jen 10/23/2022 Absolutely incredible and powerful film. See more EH 10/22/2022 It is nearly statistically impossible for you to not know someone who has experienced domestic abuse. This film takes a firm grip on the subject as the truth of Judy's heroic story unfolds. Director Patricia Gillespie created an unlinching film that is a must see for all audiences. A truthful documentary about a crime in an era of "true crime" that speaks to your soul rather than intoxicate your brain with sadistic entertainment. Spread the word.

See more Phoebe O @Fibi_Fiji 06/09/2023 I think this is such an important movie, for women and men alike. The scourge of domestic violence and the effects of the opioid crisis are brilliantly portrayed in this film. To me, seeing Judy's story was one exceptional opportunity to see how a victim fights to become a hero, but also, to understand how the aftermath of the barbaric acts she experienced has affected her own family. A tough, but a most watch. See more Carlos P 06/06/2023 This is a very important film, using the codes of true crime we are witnessing a true social justice piece, and at the center Judy, a hero. Gillespie shows an excellent directorial capacity by mixing archival, verite and interviews, giving the film a true sense of continuity. A most see See more Read all reviews
