Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org Simple Women is ultimately a moving and intelligent exploration not of the phenomenon of stardom itself, but of the complex mechanics that underpin our own capacity to invest such deep emotional feeling into the act of being a fan. Sep 30, 2019 Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com The breathtaking risk [Malta] takes makes her feature debut an incredible opening statement. Sep 23, 2019 Full Review Amy Nicholson Variety A dizzying story about ambition and artistic competition Rated: B Sep 16, 2019 Full Review Monique Vigneault Film Inquiry Simple Women makes for an interesting examination of false effigies and washed-up idols and one thing's for sure, the two women in focus are most certainly anything but simple. And that makes for good cinema. Sep 23, 2019 Full Review Jonathan Christian The Playlist Malta should be commended for her distinctive style, but Simple Women has the same problem as countless first-time feature films: too many ideas and too little depth. Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
