"The Girls on Film deliberately choose the most blokey, testosterone-fuelled movies – the man-sweat soaked story telling that one might assume just wouldn't fly with women in the lead roles – and remakes them, straight-faced, serious and intense. And they work just as well."

"The Girls On Film blog… recreate famous male-male scenes, with just enough of a girly twist (ie: Tyler Durden applying lip gloss instead of smoking) to remind us that they're not taking themselves all that seriously in this clever little endeavor."

"In a film industry that seldom seems to consider women as more than sidekicks or sex objects a lot of the time, this is a really interesting way of getting us all to think about these issues."

"While Harrington and Taxia do a superb acting job, I think many people are dumbstruck when they first encounter the recreated scene. The masculine repartee between these two women and Harrington's bloody nose challenge the idea that masculinity can only be enacted by men."

"This is a fan film project that creates powerful, dramatic results on a shoestring budget. And, while the performances here often highlight the differences between men and women, they prove that females are just as watchable in these parts as their male counterparts."

You could say Ashleigh Harrington is the next <insert awesome actress here>, but she would correct you and say she is paving her own way. With a keen eye for detail and a storytelling knowledgebase of mythic proportions, Ashleigh has the intuitive talent to be an acting icon in her own right.
