Reviews
3 stars out of 4 -- "[Fey's] potent performance grows as Barker grows a conscience about the fragile, ravaged region she's covering." (Rolling Stone)
3 stars out of 5 -- "The script is well stocked with fast, sharp one-liners..." (Empire)
"The film, like its small-screen predecessors, marries big themes and small. It is witty and wry and gimlet-eyed." (The Guardian)
