David Davidson Globe and Mail Dorsey is proving to be more adept at marshalling the opportunities of commercial filmmaking than her contemporaries. While bigger does not always mean better, she demonstrates a real mastery of the tools and resources at her disposal. Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Eric Marchen Rogers TV Dorsey’s slick direction contains skillfully choreographed fencing felt through every breath, thrust, and devastating blow to the opponent. A duel of dream vs reality, control vs autonomy, young vs old, there’s a back-and-forth fighting for first place. Rated: B Aug 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
