“Girlfight soars by refusing to take the road most traveled. It still qualifies as a 'feel-good' film, but it refuses to cop out with easy answers or false epiphanies”

“A little more flair and polish could have made Girlfight a terrific movie instead of just the decent one it is”

- Charles Taylor
