"The heroine of 'THE DOZENS'. . . is Sally, a young woman so scrappy she talks like a street-smart young man . .. AS A PORTRAIT, IT IS POWERFUL. . . An interesting heroine against a vivid social backdrop." -Janet Maslin, NEW YORK TIMES "BRILLIANT! A SMALL GEM! A GRIPPING, BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN STORY, GRACEFULLY SHOT AND EDITED ... RAISED TO EXCELLENT BY A CONSUMMATE JOB OF ACTING! THE DIALOGUE IS SUPERB!" -Jeff McLaughlin, BOSTON GLOBE "Full of surprising, vivid details and pungently profane dialogue...entertainment value without compromising socially conscious ambitions...SALLY IS A CANTANKEROUS, FUNNY SURVIVOR." -David Chute, L.A. HERALD "A searing, unsentimental indictment of a society which neglects its working-class women and thereby limits their potential." -Linda Gross, L.A. TIMES "THERE IS A FILM OUT THERE YOU MUST SEE, SOON! It's called 'THE DOZENS,' a quiet, engaging film with a gritty charm. It evokes our deepest feelings." -Joyce Kulhawik, WBZ-TV/Group W "A DELIGHT! Down-to-earth entertainment! Sally shows a rebellion, a determination and a spirited humor that make her A TRULY FEMINIST HEROINE, ANOTHER RARE TREAT." -Julie Melrose, EQUAL TIMES "RICH AND MOVING ... 'THE DOZENS' is a fine, sparsely made film about surviving ... THERE IS SUCH ELECTRICITY ON THE SCREEN THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF OF IT!" -Nat Segaloff, WEEI-FM/CBS Radio "FROM THE START, 'THE DOZENS'...IS REVVED UP AND RUNNING ... The movie is tough-skinned and volatile, full of quick-cutting humor. ... But it raises provocative questions about the problems and responsibilities working women face. The expert acting and the brisk efficiency, growly humor and off-handed tenderness of Dall and Conrad's approach all keep the movie FRESH, UNPREDICTABLE AND ABSORBING." -Tom Baglien, IN THESE TIMES
