“…is a script with an intriguing premise. The female lead is a compelling protagonist with clear motivations and goals. The stakes are incredibly high for her. Most of the description clearly details the action and environment. The dialogue flows naturally and captures the time period and gives each character a distinct voice and personality.“

"The voice of the script is interesting and does nice world building and good work with the period detail. The basic writing is very good. When it goes bigger like the ambush moment, there is scenic tension and good action staging. The final confrontation between ... and the female villain is well done. The characters all have their beats to play. The relationship between (... ) and her best friend injects life and heart into the piece. Their dialogue is frequently funny in both a black comedy and laugh out loud kind of way.”

"We are reading a profoundly human drama, carried by strong characters, even stronger goals, and a tension that runs through every sentence. Your language opened up a visual world for me in which I could completely lose myself.
What particularly struck me was the way you portrayed the female characters: Inherently strong, active, and absolutely consistent in their actions. The characters always take action, they're never victims of their circumstances. This is something that unites all the female characters in your work: None can be broken, none can be deterred – no matter how great the obstacles. They all pursue their goals with impressive clarity.” (German Actress)

“The screenplay is at its best when it uses the unending series of tragedy to build tension. In my opinion, it's a psychological thriller and overall a great story. I think the message is profound and powerful.”
