Critic's Reviews
"What matters is that Rubin is fully invested in the role, bringing the heartache and the pain to the surface so that we can fully comprehend the demons at play in her life."
"Rubin, an accomplished jazz vocalist in her own right, is still doing Rubin here, but while telling Holiday’s story. It’s a tricky mix, one fans will either appreciate, or not. We chose to appreciate it."
