"Fun and gossipy in the way that great documentaries about Hollywood often are, but it also speaks to a deeper truth about identity and perseverance and the large divide between one's personal and professional life." – Indiewire
"A savvy, rollicking, eye-popping film. Brave for its candor and enlightening for the social context it provides." – Vanity Fair
