PRESS
On Cohen's dinner scene:
"The best scene in the documentary, by a wide margin,
is a dinner in which Shields and her daughters try to make sense of what was progressive and what was regressive about her early career; it’s funny, relaxed and still welcomely analytical. "
-THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"“A documentary of fascinating depth…supremely well crafted…touching and revelatory… by the end of “Pretty Baby,” you do know who the real Brooke is. The film attains a cumulative power that’s quite moving.”
-VARIETY
"CRITIC’S PICK. Absorbing…a biography of Shields with lucid insights into the culture that shaped her. Builds a mood of reminiscence gone rancid, and suggests a generation of women transformed by the prototypes society boxed them into."
- THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Poignant…a remarkable story of resilience"
- ROLLING STONE
"The best of the (biopics) by far…excellent structuring."
-ROGEREBERT.COM, from the Sundance Film Festival
"Insightful, well-crafted, and inspirational."
