“Enlightening, engaging...Personalizes the often faceless tussle between secular and religious ways of life."
— LA Weekly

“Gives us neither stereotypes nor mush headed proselytizing....A very personal and generous film about the search for meaning."
— San Francisco Weekly

“With intelligence, sympathy, nuance and grace, Sarah’s Daughters raises provocative questions about the complexity of contemporary women’s lives and options. This film will help us teach all of our daughters how to search for a meaningful life of their own."
— Judith Stacey, Contemporary Gender Studies, USC
