Panel of 12 women in 1759 english village, Deals w whether woman murder-suspect is w child, Saving her from being hanged, Mash-up 12 angry men/the crucible/handmaids tale

See it if jaw-dropping moments; powerful script; 13 strong/some hilarious perfs led by Sandra Oh; potentl 2 be feminist classic

Don’t see it if tries 2 do 2 many things; hyper-dramatic, so many 2nd act twists, derails narrative; melding 18th cent/modrn women's sensiblities uneven

Thought-provoking, Resonant, Intense, Absorbing, Great acting

See it if A dark story about a woman, community &democracy set in the past, could not be more relevant today.Excellent, stunning performances.

Don’t see it if Some unnecessary side stories; the writing is very audacious & your reaction may be, at times, more visceral than intellectual.

Alright, Absorbing, Disappointing, Ambitious

See it if like enuf woman plays to roll w/ the punches/plusses/minuses. Complex—right thing for wrong reasons/wrong thing for right reasons/no reasons

Don’t see it if want it sharp—no minuses or eyerolls. Foregrounding she-said/she-said complexities borders on needless distraction in the long game.
