Au Nom des Femmes

I liked this. It's a bit moralistic and leans heavily to the white knight on a charger is a lady type theme. There are a few good men to be found lurking in the background, who are only good because they have been guilted in to being so. The pretty refugee who has cheesy bits around her lips, is properly doped up by the authorities until wonder woman Saint Judy comes along and saves the day. Saint Judy does this all while having no pay cheques until the very end. How on earth does she rent a house, rent an office and put food on the table? Is this the ultimate charity of strangers movie? I will admit that the story did strike me as one that is only too real and relevant and that there is injustice that is worth fighting against. Nice touch with the ending.

Well thought out,well dramatized story that needs to be told. Good acting by Michelle Monaghan.

The film presents the story of Judy Wood's pivotal breakthrough in changing the interpretation of political asylum in the USA. Since we know she won, the main interest comes from watching the filmmaker's exploration of her emotional struggles. The results are uplifting. You come out of this film feeling like the "little guy or gal" can still win. It only takes clarity and persistence. The film is well crafted, well-acted, and but dialogue is a bit cringy. It's hard to see how this movie differentiates itself from a TV MOW or biopic.

Its a tv-movie production on people of different reasons seeking political asylum in the u.s.a.. its also a biographical flick about judy woods, an l.a. based lawyer, and her way into this trade of justice.

its a typical lawywer client judge courtroom film, that at the end ends very well, and its solely made to show that there are hope. technically its ok but no more than that.

its a film that should fit everyone who likes courtsoaps etcetera, nothing extravagant, but a good watch while waiting for your favourite show,thinks the grumpy old man.

Sensitive topic!

The film is not bad, but unfortunately it is not very good either.

It seems that there is a lack of details, depth, a more complete presentation of both the participants of the story and the events that took place.

Regardless, I give it an 8, with great respect for the real people depicted in the film as well as the countless unknowns with the same or similar situation.
