Peter Debruge Variety Simultaneously educates and inspires... Feb 26, 2019 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost "...though it may well have been started with good intentions, it has ended up a confusing, poorly researched and, sadly, even dishonest film." Jun 20, 2022 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Indian women fight stigma of menstruation in short docu. Rated: 4/5 Apr 23, 2020 Full Review Luke Whiston TheShiznit.co.uk Period. End of Sentence. may be a fairly flimsy documentary that never lives up to that puntastic title, but what it does do is serve as a necessary conversation starter. Rated: C+ Jan 8, 2020 Full Review Bonnie Burton CNET The documentary Period. End of Sentence de-stigmatizes menstruation and allows us to celebrate our periods in our own way. May 30, 2019 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion Craft-wise, it is nothing remarkable, at least in context of the world it represents. But if social relevance is a part of filmmaking in narrative fiction, social relevance is filmmaking in narrative non-fiction. Rated: 3/5 Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Period. End of Sentence. takes a significant step for feminine growth in India. As menstruation is a taboo topic, it opens up a much-needed conversation about women's health. It brings to light the struggles women face about a natural part of life and promotes "The Pad Project" that not only supplies women with jobs but with much needed sanitary products. This short documentary is educational and inspiring as it takes steps to break down the stigmas and ignorance surrounding menstruation. It empowers women to help themselves in a culture that often has women as second class citizens. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Such an inspiring documentary that focuses in on how other cultures and countries deal with such normal occurrences in vastly different ways. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Different and refreshing. I really enjoyed the shots of women trying to talk about menstruation the awkwardness the laughter it's hard not to feel empathy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Watch this if: You're time poor, but you could really get into a short, inspiring gem of a movie. Imagine not knowing what a menstrual pad is? The women in Period. End of Sentence. have never heard of one. This fantastic, 30 minute watch hits all the sweet spots. It's about women living in rural Indian communities who are shy about their periods. They're so shy that the topic of periods is off limits. The result is an entire country of women who's opportunities are severely limited. We drew our breath in surprise again and again and were inspired by the collective desire of women to bring change to their communities. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE. is a good short film about the effectiveness of grassroots initiative and empowerment. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member What a refreshing and uplifting documentary. It shows how little (the effort required to buy the machine for the women) goes so far for them Not at all belittling the effort made by the Oakland school... I hold them in very high regard for having a plan to better others' lives across the planet, and accomplishing it via bike sales, kickstarter and yogathons. How creative. Now it's not only making the community more hygenic, it's helping to provide the women (in a heavily patriarchal society) to have some independence and increased self worth. I highly recommend everyone to take 26min of time and watch this... especially kids and teenagers to show them how much power they have to affect change.
