Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Guilt-tripping masked under the garb of a parent-daughter relationship. If the masking is intentional, it’s a shame. If it isn’t, then the writing is all over the place.
Wogma rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Quick review: Has the power to numb your brain to inane action, to bore you with same ol’ action, to tire you with relentless action.
Wogma rating: Watch for sure, preferably in theatre
Quick review: Powerful. Moving. Will empower women, might even awaken men. Real in its own way, filling you with hope.
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online

Wogma rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
