Praise for THE MADAMS OF MONTCLAIR from THE BLACK LIST
"The visual imagery that highlights handsome and desirable male characters does a nice job of inverting the male gaze typical of filmed entertainment and firmly centering female sexual agency.”
“Following in the footsteps of projects like "50 Shades," this story takes a far more interesting approach to the female characters - Alexa and Maureen have complete agency in their stories, and most of all their idea to start a high-end escort service for women feels fun and marketable. The over-the-top style of the show equally carries potential broad appeal…"
