Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune It's not an easy film to watch, though most people who do see it will find it impossible to forget. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 20, 2002 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Wiseman reveals the victims of domestic abuse in all of their pity and terror. Rated: B+ Feb 8, 2002 Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post Examines its explosive subject matter as nonjudgmentally as Wiseman's previous studies of inner-city high schools, hospitals, courts and welfare centers. Rated: 3/4 Jan 30, 2002 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 4/5 Aug 7, 2005 Full Review Moira Sullivan FilmFestivals.com So why is Wiseman afraid to call this 'violence against women' in such a lengthy expose? Rated: C- Aug 1, 2003 Full Review Jeremy Heilman MovieMartyr.com Rated: 3/4 Mar 5, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Chilling, unbiased look at a difficult subject. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member F. Wiseman's film is always my favorite. Public housing is my best, but I couldnt find it in this search. So I guess the second comes, reasonably, domestic violence. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
