Ferrara's gritty and powerful style makes Ms. 45 a standout.

The Dissolve
Ferrara blows up the everyday threat of harassment and violence against women into a magnified force.

By keeping the picture short and busy, Ferrara makes its far-fetched elements play.

Village Voice
It's hard to imagine Ms. 45 with any other actress. Lund is a particularly effective avenging angel, easily making the leap from innocent mouse to worldly wise killer.

Ultimately, Ms. 45 is far more interesting and genuinely enjoyable (versus ironically enjoyable, as many of this vintage grindhouse flicks wind up being) than it has any right to be.
