      Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter There are many powerful moments, and one can't help but empathize with the four women as they experience their travails and triumphs. Their courage is often astonishing, as is their outlook. Nov 10, 2016 Full Review Nigel M. Smith Guardian They deserve to have their voices heard, and not simply muffled by The Pearl. Rated: 2/5 Nov 10, 2016 Full Review Scott Tobias Variety Though it achieves a remarkable intimacy with its subjects, this study of four transgender women falls short of its intended power. Nov 10, 2016 Full Review Lora Grillo The Playlist A downbeat but sincere work. Rated: A- Nov 22, 2016 Full Review Walker MacMurdo Willamette Week The Pearl isn't some late-night infomercial selling transgender rights to an uneducated audience. It simply wishes to show trans humanity. Rated: A Nov 10, 2016 Full Review Susan G. Cole NOW Toronto The doc tends to wander, focusing more on the women's everyday lives. But when they travel and are free from the strictures of their closets inside their home communities, you see how beautiful real freedom can be. Rated: 3/5 Nov 10, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Saw this Amazon. Don't waste your time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This film was touching and engaging. I saw it months ago, and find myself remembering many scenes as I contemplate daily life decisions. I was particularly touched by the support lent in the 'safe house', and how that worked out for them. Meeting Pearl and her friends through this film was a rare treat. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This will hit you hard! Everyone should see this movie to help you understand what others are going through!
