Los Angeles Times
pressAn unflinching and complex character study of an imperfect woman juggling motherhood and her determination to succeed among men.
Hollywood Reporter
press[A] well-observed and endearing account of one woman grappling with allegiances to her fellow soldiers and her estranged 5-year-old son.
