Quote:
"You Can't Beat a Woman [is] a sprawling, long, ambitious take on the theme of domestic violence and recovery. It crosses five continents, lasts 94 minutes and has actually devoured her 1977 film [Loved, Honoured and Bruised] which is deconstructed in the first half-hour of this new film. In many ways, it is a film about films about wife battering."
