REVIEWS
“Fresh, joyful, and never patronizing the complex, fearless protagonist, Mission Ulja Funk feels like one of those movies for which it feels the phrase ‘for the young and young at heart’ was invented.”  —Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, AWFJ Women on Film

“The film has its spirited energy, well-attuned performances and a direction that offers a still refreshing take of the old road-movie film concept.” —Vassilis Kroustallis, Film Is A Fine Affair
