Glenn Kenny New York Times "Ladies First" tells a tale that is indeed incredible and inspiring. May 8, 2018 Full Review Radhika Menon Decider Most documentaries focus on the tangible outcomes of these types of competitions, but Ladies First is somehow both laser-focused on Kumari's pursuit of gold while also being about the large gaps in gender equality in India. Feb 23, 2021 Full Review Andrea Beach Common Sense Media Inspiring but cautionary docu about woman archer from India. Rated: 4/5 Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This has terrible dubbing and seems to follow every beat of quintessential sports-inspiration students. This woman's story deserves to be told and is truly an inspiring one... but the way this film shows it almost cheapens it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Motivating, Inspiring, Strong and Beautiful Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A good, short documentary about a girl in India with big dreams, a big heart, fierce determination, tons of talent, and no footsteps to follow in. She is a true trailblazer, and as such, she has many challenges. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/18 Full Review Read all reviews
