“GRACE is a great film! And Marisa does such real work in it!”
- Chris Kerson, Willie Boy Johnson of "Gotti" w/ John Travolta
“Wow what a massive undertaking and accomplishment! What I think I loved the most about it is the clear juxtaposition/chasm between the people who “get it” or understand what’s going on and the people who don’t… of course it’s a ton of gray area too, with the douchebag owner being an addict as well… but the idea that SOOO many people feel they get to sit in judgment of a MASSIVE picture of which they can only see one tiny sliver was loud and clear and makes you think. Everyone has their little naive glib take… and it’s worth exactly nothing and is the last thing from relevant to the reality. I’m very glad this was made… I’m sure it was healing and hopefully will be to others as well.
- Sofia Karstens, Producer
