  "An intriguing heroine is born."Entertainment Weekly: Saving Grace Review (July 17, 2007)

  "The title is the only thing that's simple about "Saving Grace," a dark, mesmerizing drama anchored by Holly Hunter's delicious star performance, the sort of showy role that compensates for a multitude of sins.Variety: Saving Grace Review (July 23, 2008)

  "If Hunter can rise above the muck and melee and keep the focus on Grace and her issues -- of which there may be dozens -- "Saving Grace" could turn out to be a hot and spicy dish..."The Washington Post: Saving Grace Has Help From Above, but It's Not Enough (July 23, 2008)
