Times (UK)

This was standout TV for which Tuza-Ritter will doubtless, and rightly, win awards.

Rated: 5/5

The Blue Lenses

An unequivocally powerful and very moving film, A Woman Captured is unflinching in its determination to emphasise how urgent and ubiquitous experiences like Marish's are. A Woman Captured is essential viewing.

Guardian

Shows, in almost full view, the exhaustion of being entrapped as a slave and what it takes to get out of it.

Rated: 5/5

Cineuropa

The power of the film is undeniable, and the issues it raises on both sides of the camera are important and need to be shown and discussed.

Despite the troubled navigation of its own approach and ethics, as a documentation of human exploitation in a time and place where many won't expect to find it, A Woman Captured is illuminating viewing.

Film Inquiry

A Woman Captured is an astonishing documentary of a buoyantly spirited woman and the filmmaker she entrusts in sharing her life story.

It is made as a very observational film instead of an investigative piece, sometimes it leaves you really wishing more questions were asked, but it is phenomenal access to a phenomenal woman and even with questions unanswered the film still educates on so many different levels. Sometimes questions unanswered can be a good thing as well it made me think and explore the issues more, and the film certainly changed my knowledge of the world, I did not know modern day slavery existed and I am absolutely gobsmacked. Definitely recommend people see it.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
