Samantha Riedel Bitch Media Woman on Fire is a feel-good story that isn't concerned so much with its titular character's arc as with the journeys of the people who surround her. Still, if you're a cisgender ally, there are lessons to be learned here. Feb 17, 2021 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The film is non-preachy about its subject which helps it get through more easily. Brooke Guinan tells her story as it is, bumps in the road, blemishes, and all, which gives her a humanity that transcends her gender, orientation, or career. Rated: 4/5 Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Al Hoff Pittsburgh City Paper It's a fight that culminates in some high-profile public victories, though for Brooke, the cessation of struggle within herself is surely the sweetest battle won. Dec 18, 2017 Full Review Jared Mobarak The Film Stage [Depicts] the process of a woman finding the courage to let her identity loose upon an occupation unversed in supporting female co-workers let alone trans women.
