“The film is framed as a story of uplift and triumph; at one point Moreno is referred to as “the embodiment of the American dream.” However, Moreno is a pioneer. That can be a lonely and painful thing, especially for a woman of color. “Just A Girl Who Decided To Go For It” shows us, even if it’s too briefly, the steep price she had to pay to pursue it.”
– Roger Ebert, Movie Critic –
“The remarkable life and 70-year career of singer, actress and dancer Rita Moreno.”
