Reception
Politico.com and DVD Talk both gave positive reviews for 14 Women,[3] with DVD Talk commented that while it was "far from definitive", the film has "admirable aims and will probably play well with schoolkids."[4] Variety gave a more mixed response to the film, saying that "Political junkies, idealistic schoolgirls and everyone in between will be thrilled to vary-ing degrees" by the movie but that it also felt like a "recruitment vid for public service".[5]
