#FEMALE PLEASURE is a plea for the liberation of female sexuality in the 21st century. It explores the experiences of five extraordinary women around the globe and their courageous struggle for a self-determined female sexuality and an equal, passionate relationship between the sexes.
Los Angeles Times by María García
The issues they confront are not new, yet the stories of their radicalization are engaging, and Miller’s deft editing and objective approach result in a surprisingly intimate and life-affirming film.
Movie Nation by Roger Moore
Miller has pulled some far-flung threads together to create a fascinating “state of the struggle” report, one that women like Hussein are fighting, one speech, one interview, one graphic demonstration of FGM at a time.
TheWrap by Candice Frederick
#Female Pleasure smoothly glides from one country segment to another and engages audiences with the personal stories of the five women, told through voiceover and solo interviews, as well as a broader look at the cultures in which they live.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
[An] illuminating if one-sided overview of the myriad ways in which women’s sexuality is controlled and subjugated.
