- 90The New York TimesElisabeth VincentelliThe New York TimesElisabeth VincentelliSchreck succeeds in widening her autobiographical play into a paean for basic fairness: The American Constitution, admired as it is, fails to protect all of us from violence and discrimination.
- 75Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreSchreck and her show are smart, informative, funny and often touching.
- Schreck matches the wit and fire of her writing with a riveting performance that often does not feel like a performance at all, but rather a cri de coeur wrenched up from a deep place where the personal, the historical, and the universal have met and merged.
- 70VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeDirector Heller does a better job of adapting Schreck’s play than the team behind Disney Plus’ recent “Hamilton” film, in part because the underlying production is so much simpler.
