Press voices

”The story is based on “the real” Calamity Jane and Buffalo Bill, but lands in a direct action for animal rights” Petter Lindgren, Aftonbladet

“There is a drive in the story and most of all in the pictures with speedy gallops in nightblack landscapes. (…) Feminism and animal rights in the wild west!” Eva Wahlström, Kristianstadsbladet
