Films fall into two categories. They are either the kind that leave a lasting impression in your mind long after the curtain falls or they are the kind that doesn’t even form a passing glance in the eye of your mind. But, Melissa Kent’s forms a category by itself. It’s a film that compels you to long for it to be true.

Becoming Lucy – Review
It takes much more than average quota of gumption to pick on a project let alone a character, of yesteryears that defined stardom in itself.
