Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
It doesn't stint on war-movie tropes and cliché-filled speeches, sometimes to its detriment. It fares better in recognizing the humanity and determination of the female soldiers.

"Girls of the Sun," unlike the women who populate it, is weak and often corny.

"Girls of the Sun" is a film of admirable ambition but vexingly uneven execution.

[I]f only more of "Girls of the Sun" had that empowering sentiment as a primary aim, the filmmaker's earnest intentions would manifest more organically.

It's hard not to be swept up by a film that celebrates the indomitable female spirit with such gusto - and a story that came close to slipping through the cracks.

It's a pity, because somewhere amongst the muddled editing and storytelling there's a terrific drama.

This script is terrible, but the story and the filmmaking is very good.
