Critic Reviews:
- " The cast is large, but the characters are well-defined, set up in their own little subsets… " – Norman Wilner (NOW Toronto)
- " Winterbottom is passionate about the subject, making a laudable attempt to introduce the private realm of abuse from the wealthy to a wider audience. Outrage is the final goal. " – Brian Orndorf (Blu-ray.com)
- " Michael Winterbottom excels at slowly transitioning the tone into something far less comedic and more furious. " – Robert Kojder (Flickering Myth)
