3/5

Thirsty has to be handed its flowers though for choosing the cinematic narrative road less travelled in shining a spotlight on the kind of woman rarely afforded the spotlight she deserves.

2/5

Underdog stories are indeed rich and inspiring but Thirsty, longing to echo and honor recent female politicians—right down to the historical figures celebrated in the end credits—is aiming more than a shade too high to resonate fully.

Thirsty isn’t about winning or losing. It’s about the quiet power of making your voice heard, cutting through the bluster and rising above the noise.
