What people are saying

The doc provides a sobering and emotional look at what, if any, options exist for those who aren't white or wealthy in an unequal system.

Lovia Gyarkye

Hollywood Reporter

In the end, Accepted proves a cautionary tale about miracle solutions to complicated predicaments, as well as a lament for the genuine casualties of this con.
