Tim Miller Cape Cod Wave Magazine Documentarian Lucia Small, whose work includes the first-rate “My Father, the Genius,” delivers another knockout. This time she turns her camera on female members of the highly successful Newton South High School debate team. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 17, 2023 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media The film showcases the way that the students involved become good and informed citizens as they discuss both sides of many polarizing social and political issues, including climate change, subjects that might not otherwise interest high school students. Rated: 4/5 Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Peter Keough Arts Fuse The Newton South girls are up to the task, and the resulting competitions -- though their verbal flurries are sometimes incomprehensible -- prove to be suspenseful, exciting, and gratifying.
