Press & Reviews
"The miracle of Gross’ Lady Parts script is its overall tone of hilarity, its healthy sense of the absurd, its flow between sentiment (not sentimentality) and comedy. Gross sacrifices nothing: she doesn’t sacrifice the message for the medium, or vice versa."
Sheila O’Malley, The Sheila Variations 2.0 - A conversation with Bonnie Gross, Lady Parts screenwriter
“The film is filled with so much laughter and joy that the medical aspect - vaginal health care - really takes a backseat to the heartfelt, entertaining, family dynamics.”
Lisa Blanck, In Focus-Magazine - Lady Parts Review
“This is a beautifully balanced film, you’re laughing but you care about what is going on. There’s an evolution to Paige’s experience. What starts with a lot of uncomfortable jokes settles into a dramedy about family, about bonding, about the value of not being shy about your own body. The evolution of the story eases our discomfort.”
Jerry Roberts, Armchair Cinema - Lady Parts Review
“This movie is simply great—great dialogue, great performances, and it tackles vital topics that too often get ignored but does so in a way that’s fun and funny and warm and uplifting and totally unforgettable.”
Jason Green, The Arts STL - Lady Parts | SLIFF 2024
Here's what the fans are saying

“An important story that relates to not only women but men, family, and friends in having an understanding on such an important topic. Valentina Tammaro as the lead did a phenomenal job especially with a great supporting cast that hit its comedic timing as well as its hard hitting moments.”

"I was sooo lucky to get in for the encore screening at Sidewalk (they had to turn people away for both screenings)! I do not have enough good things to say about this film. It’s funny but also raw and relatable. There were times I laughed, and there were times I teared up. Plus, it sheds light on a topic that really should be talked about. This is definitely going in my list of films that inspire me! Seriously, if you get a chance to see this film, please please do!"

"Had the great pleasure (😉) of seeing Lady Parts at its Florida Film Festival official premiere. Lady Parts is an incredibly (and literally) real story about writer and producer Bonnie Gross’ personal journey navigating herself in more ways than one. Lady Parts will simultaneously knock you out with its charm and perfectly balanced humor and heart while teaching you a thing or two about vaginal health. This is a story everyone needs to see. A+!"

"WOW WOW WOW. i love that there are more stories being told based on actual people. the lead in this film did a great job and i am obsessed with the parents. i'm leaning more toward the dad because he's hot. this is definitely in tina fey ballpark of comedy. men AND women can enjoy this film. keep telling your stories. warning: you might cry or laugh too hard that you explode."

"Florida Film Festival, Film No. 29 🍊 A damn charm offensive, Valentina Tammaro is just sensational in this. Effortlessly funny and magnificently handles the sensitive moments, and the little agonies she goes through. You are fully invested in her happiness, she really carries this thing so effectively. I adored her performance. The script is funny and sincere, and the ensemble (especially Paige’s parents) are all so lovely and present. The Velveteen Rabbit scene is a real standout. Charming as hell. Just a lovely time. Left with a smile."
