REVIEWS:
“As a documentary, I found The Stand Up Doll incredibly fascinating. Often, when watching documentaries about people I don’t know, I ask, “Why would anyone waste time putting a film together at this person?” Director Evelyne Tollman-Werzowa does a stellar job convincing audiences that Risa’s story is worth watching. And it is.” FILM THREAT Allen Ng.
“Stock footage of the past adds depth to the film. Risa’s youth is represented by a younger actress – a brilliant choice so as to remind the audience of who she is within the shell of a 100 year old woman. She is beautiful, youthful, carefree, sensual – and yes sexual. Risa even opens up about her sex life – past and present – and it’s wonderful.” TAKE 2 INDIE REVIEW
