Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap The general takeaway, though, is that this is a fascinating, complex story that needs to be told. Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Chauncey K. Robinson People's World It’s a raw and heartfelt celebration of the power of the press. The series isn’t a fluff piece about the magazine but an honest reflection of a publication that was crucial to the growth and accomplishments of the feminist movement. Rated: B+ Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Alyssa Christian Next Best Picture Like Ms. itself, the documentary is complicated, messy, and sometimes lacking nuance, making it a worthy watch and an ode to print journalism at a time when the digital world has taken over. Rated: 7/10 Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Film Festival Today The result is a very well-balanced documentary determined to tell the story in all its highs and lows. That objective approach is itself noteworthy. Rated: 4/5 Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Leslie Combemale AWFJ.org A celebration of sisterhood and of an important feminist touchstone, Dear Ms. shows just how fearless and forward-thinking issue after issue was, but also how willing those in charge always were to learn, change, and course correct. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
