SAINT JUDY – Review by Susan Wloszczyna

February 20, 2019February 24, 2019 Susan Wloszczyna 0 Comments judy wood, Leem Lubany, michelle monaghan, saint judy

Saint Judy is a true-life tale of a female crusader, a legal eagle named Judy Wood who is responsible for a landmark case that strives to protect female immigrants who seek asylum in the U.S. to avoid persecution and possible death in their homelands. While we have seen this sort of high-minded advocate story on film before, this one has the presence of Michelle Monaghan, who avoids turning her Judy into a do-gooder bore.

SAINT JUDY – Review by Loren King

February 19, 2019February 24, 2019 Loren King 0 Comments judy wood, Leem Lubany, michelle monaghan, motw, Movie of the Week, saint judy

There’s an urgency and a poignancy to the timing of this fact-based drama. With the current president and his base bent on creating border walls, Saint Judy is the eye-opening story of Los Angeles lawyer Judy Wood (Michelle Monaghan) and her dogged efforts on behalf of immigrants, especially women, seeking political asylum in the US due to the threat of violence and murder in the patriarchal countries they fled.

Thank you, @AWFJ, for your spot-on review of Michael Webber’s gripping documentary, the @BigCatMovie … “It’s so disillusioning to learn that someone you really admired is … unworthy of that admiration….”
