“Tanna is a true golden age throwback. I can easily see her as a contract player of the Thirties. A brassy, saucy, firecracker, full of moxie, a dame who could pull a heist, crack a joke, break a heart, croon a tune, and never muss her hair.”
Noah Wyle
“Tanna Frederick, in particular, delivers a nuanced embodiment of Kathy’s internal and external difficulties. She must monitor herself, maintain her self-esteem, and educate, if not battle, those who still adhere to the unhelpful and wrong-headed ideas about mental issues. She’s done her homework and has clearly, carefully observed this world.”
AWFJ
“Actress Tanna Frederick shines as the vulnerable yet independent Kathy in the movie, during which the at-times struggling protagonist immediately captures viewers’ hearts with her gritty persistence.”
SHOCKYA, Karen Bernadello
“Frederick is terrific as a woman who knows she has done wrong, but isn’t prepared to wear sackcloth and ashes”
IRISH TIMES
“In particular, Frederick is blessed with conviction and an interesting face, and she credibly anchors the movie with breezy charisma.”
SHOCKYA
“Tanna Frederick delivers a fully credible, sympathetic turn as the troubled protagonist.”
The Hollywood Reporter
“Tanna Frederick is known for her strong performances in indie film, and this role is no exception.”
New York Times
“Actress Tanna Frederick shines as the vulnerable yet independent Kathy in the movie, during which the at-times struggling protagonist immediately captures viewers’ hearts with her gritty persistence.”
