“*Elizabeth Searle is an electric talent...Testing taboo limits, tuned to our Pop Culture pulsebeat, Searle creates spellbinding tales for our times."(ANN HOOD) “We started with a fantastic script” (MEGAN GRIFFITHS, Director, in VARIETY) “Trademark Searle: quick with the life of the moment but also tuned to deeper implications” (SVEN BIRKERTS) “Gracefully walks the knife’s edge between wild satire and ripped-from-the-headlines realism… Sexy, funny, creepy and highly enjoyable."
