FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/other-films-watched-spoiler-free-review-sundance/#jane "Call Jane presents a compelling premise focused on women's rights, remarkably elevated by excellent performances from Elizabeth Banks, Sigourney Weaver, Chris Messina, and Wunmi Mosaku. An interesting, engaging first act quickly grabs the viewers, featuring a well-written screenplay and clever use of witty songs. However, the story gradually loses momentum, becoming repetitive and dull. Practically every meaningful point is made during the first half, so the last hour feels a bit redundant and irrelevant, except for one particular development. Pacing issues arise to the overlong runtime and Phyllis Nagy's attempt to cover too much ground. Also, the emotional attachment with the protagonist and the narrative itself is on-and-off throughout the film. A good effort, nonetheless." Rating: C-
