Reception
Critical
Writing for The Austin Chronicle, Jasmine Lane gave a positive review and wrote: "Though I would've liked to see these shorts plunge more deeply into the abstract concept of what it means to tell a story not just as a woman or about a woman but in a way only a woman can, in a world that seems increasingly determined to reduce the breadth of feminine identity to a singular biological imperative, these shorts feel triumphant".[8] Conversely, Leslie Felperin of The Guardian wrote a negative review, with 2 out of 5 stars, writing: "[Cara] Delevingne is pretty good and Mipo O's story of a single mother struggling to stay afloat has impact – but most are on a spectrum between insipid and awful."[9]
