"Calista Flockhart delivers a fantastic performance in this powerful, compelling, and intriguing independent film. The brilliance of the script is really amazing. It's wonderful to see Calista in a different role than what the audience is used to seeing her in. Jane is a mesmerizing and complex character filled with all the regular human emotions taken to an even deeper depth than we have in the real life. The character is so true and emotionally open, and it's easy to feel empathetic towards her. "Jane Doe" is a great movie that serious-minded drama fans can really savor for all it's worth."
Touching story. Flockhart has huge range. Great soundtrack

"Calista Flockhart plays an extroverted druggie who changes the life of a reclusive writer. It's an emotional roller-coaster, highs and lows of a doomed relationship. Hip cutting, grungey locations, good chemistry. Bring six handkerchiefs. Oh yeah, and the track just rocks. Hope there's an album coming out."
Outstanding

"This is an excellent film full of brilliant dark humor. It's got a wonderful bleak carnival quality. Calista is excellent, and Chris Peditto is a great foil to her frantic energy. It's a weird, wonderful journey."
Very gritty sad urban drama

"Calista Flockheart as a druggie? Wow! Had to see that one and what a surprise it was. The story was well-paced and very realistic, almost documentary like. She is very believable as a drug abuser. Loved the soundtrack -- any album available in the future? Better than A Midsummer's Night Dream by a long shot."
EXCEPTIONAL HUMAN TOUCH!

"The movie itself stays in the realm of reality. The twist of life which shows that a person cannot be saved until they choose to save themself, often times, when it is too late. Calista Flockhart delivers a very solid and often times inspiring performance as a prostitute, the woman most men dream about but are never able to possess, even if they dared try. Endeared to a writer who sees to her soul, intent upon saving her from herself. The movie defines hope for those who look for it. The soundtrack is very good. I only hope you enjoy this film as I did. ****"
