(September 8, 2010)

"....Rovinsky's performance of a nurse dealing with the wounded in Vietnam brought me to tears. For her, the war wasn't fought in the fields of rice patties, but against her own emotions and fatigue as she struggled to stay strong for her patients....As she retells her experience, she seems horrified at her own words as they come out of her mouth, as if she is just owning up to the experience for the first time. Rovinsky's performance is so fresh and moving; she's a tremendous actress to watch."
