~ Patricia Foulkrod, Producer/Director of The Ground Truth (Focus Features/Universal Pictures)

 

The world doesn't need many of the biographical films that come my way, but this looks to be an exception. Jeanette Rankin is an extraordinary subject, and the prospect of a film that honors the sweep of her life is instantly intriguing.

~Joe Morgenstern, Pulitzer Prize Winning Film Critic for The Wall Street Journal and co-founder of The National Society of Film Critics


Jeannette Rankin had stamina, she had courage of her convictions and she was never diverted.  There are so many people who start out trying to improve the world and they get co-opted or they sell out or they get tired.  Jeannette Rankin never succumbed to those diversions.
~ Ralph Nader

A Single Woman is narrated by Martin Sheen, and includes the artistic contributions of Patricia Arquette, Karen Black, Peter Coyote, Frances Fisher, Mimi Kennedy, Margot Kidder, Elizabeth Peña, Cindy Sheehan, and Chandra Wilson.

Judd Nelson plays the key role of the Jewish Reporter, voicing many of the questions and criticisms that dogged Rankin throughout her life.

The soundtrack features the iconic music of Joni Mitchell.
