“…director Ivy Meeropol accomplishes the near-impossible, telling the story of Carroll in a manner as consistently enthralling and unapologetic as its subject.”

“Perhaps the most striking reveal in the new documentary about the writer E. Jean Carroll is just how magnetic she is. Whether in voiceover snippets of her writing, clips of her mid-’90s talk show or interviews from the present, what shines through bright as day is her personality: curious, mischievous and candid, without pretense and also not without warmth.”

“Clocking in at just 91 minutes, Meeropol effectively uses a wide array of footage, research, talking head interviews, and more to tell the story. The kaleidoscopic assortment of everything from intimate interviews (Carroll and her friends at the Waverly Inn, literally eating a “girl dinner” of fries, Caesar salads, and martinis) and absolutely gobsmacking archival footage (Carroll’s videotaped depositions from her 2019 and 2022 lawsuits) is informative and rich, allowing us to get to know Carroll as we also learn the worst bits of her life story.”
