AWFJ.org

If you are a student of the human condition or studying psychology or criminology, this is a fantastically worthwhile film to seek out. It will show you and reinforce what tuned-in healthy people already know: The weak will always feed the strong.

Douglas Davidson

Elements of Madness

What they ended up chronicling is the stuff of nightmares, confirming that anyone — regardless of social status — is just one bad day away from making life-altering choices and that wolves so often look like sheep.

Rated: 4.5/5

Jennie Kermode

Eye for Film

The film is unusual throughout in its straightforward, non-judgemental approach to the women, their addictions and their work, which is neither romanticized nor disparaged.

Rated: 4.5/5

Film Festival Today

It’s a slice of brisk and very real life like we rarely get to see on screen.

Josiah Teal

Film Threat

The documentary creates a complete story, never favoring the shame-heavy or the cliche inspirational versions of the steered-straight narrative; instead, Levine and Miller give us reality.

Rated: 9/10
