"It works! Emotional wallop. An uproarious love story of bitter heartache and sweet revenge … Directing-writing debut of three-time Oscarä Nominee Diane Ladd. TERRIFIC DIALOGUE! STUNNING, BREATHTAKING FILM! Ladd is grisly funny in the title role, and the film is surprisingly effective as psychodrama, getting a special bite out of the casting of Ladd's own real ex-husband, Bruce Dern, who stars with a magnificent performance in the part of the captive male. Both actors should receive a nomination … piercing performances by a superb supporting cast - Shelley Winters and Kelly Preston … Mrs. Munck in it's own way, successfully mines some of the same terrain as The Bridges of Madison County! Of the 200 films at the festival - one of this reviewer's ten PERSONAL FAVORITES!" - William Arnold (Seattle Post Intelligencer) |

"This reviewer hasn't been made to feel so personally vulnerable since Woody Allen's Husbands and Wives! Ladd, BRILLIANT! Dern, performance of a LIFETIME! Kelly Preston - EXQUISITE! Shelley Winters - NATIONAL TREASURE! Beautiful, brave, touching! A film one experiences rather than just watches!" - Tom Allen (Movie Maker Magazine) |
"The Superbowl? But Diane Ladd is on and on a promising note, magnolia-scented Mississippi actress Diane Ladd has finally directed, produced and written her first film, Mrs. Munck … This is a film that will make you LAUGH, CRY AND THINK." -Rex Reed (Syndicated Film Critic - New York Daily News) |
Ladd majestically sweeps away any questions about her ability. We're left to wonder only whether she is more impressive as a director, writer, star or casting agent. HER DIRECTION IS CLEVER AND SMOOTH AND HER PORTRAYAL OF MRS. MUNCK IS STUNNING! -Mark Dawidziak (Dallas Morning News) |
