Here's what the THE WOMEN'S ROOM (www.thewomensroomblog.com) had to say:
"The film is charming, and 24 minutes long, so we suggest you make
yourselves a nice cup of tea, or if you are reading after 6.00pm perhaps a
glass of wine, put your feet up and enjoy the work of this talented female
director and her mostly female crew as a way to start the prelude to a week
of celebrating women. TWR popcorn anyone?"
HerUni.com, a Cosmopolitan award winning blog for college age readers, says
"Are you a fan of period dramas? Forever glued to ITV’s Downton Abbey?
Then you’re sure to love Kate Hackett’s award winning short film 'Mesmerize Me.'"
