Playwright Eve Ensler went to New York's Bedford Hills Correctional Facility and held a series of writing workshops with the female inmates, challenging them to express their anger and frustration through the written word. The result is a series of monologues that are eventually performed by some of Hollywood's most recognizable faces (Glenn Close, Rosie Perez, Marisa Tomei). Inspiring, uplifting, and moving, WHAT I WANT MY WORDS TO DO TO YOU is as educating as it is entertaining. [More]

The most worthwhile parts of What I Want My Words to Do to You ... happen not onstage or in actors' rehearsals, but in the writing workshops, where no stars are present.

This film is one bitter pill, but a hugely rewarding one.
