Entertainment Weekly

Sep 8, 2015

A devastating deconstruction of the double standards women face in the entertainment industry, and a touching valentine to a grownup friendship that's weathered rough times. [11 Sep 2015, p.56]

Too often, Doll & Em feels like a poor man’s (or woman’s) version of Ricky Gervais’ “Extras,” providing a rather jaundiced Brits-eye-view of showbiz.
