This film is essentially a series of short films, whose only connection is a general theme of hardship for women.
Each of these stories are important. The real life people and situations that this film is based on are important.
However, in my opinion, it doesn't work as a movie. There's a lot of talent both in front and behind the camera, and I really respect the intent of the film, but I found myself detached, and impatient.
I don't think this film is going to highlight the issues it wants to, and I find it hard to believe it would convert anyone to its cause.
Had it not been for an Oscar nomination for best song (a good song btw!), I feel this film would have gone largely unnoticed.
