Synopsis: Abel Ferrara’s (Bad Lieutenant, King Of New York) 1981 revenge thriller classic Ms. 45 follows a mute garment-district seamstress – played by the late model/actress/musician/screenwriter Zoë Lund – who after falling victim to multiple unspeakable assaults, ignites her one-woman homicidal rampage against New York City’s entire male population.

Quotes

Had Herzog seen it, he might have recognized Ferrara as a fellow genius, and one as weird as himself. - Peter Keough, Boston Globe

The sexual politics of Ms. 45 are blunt and easy to read, and the picture is riotously cathartic. - Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice
