“ "Phantom Pain" is fearless and beautiful and sad and deep. Lhota perfectly captures four women struggling with demons that they rarely comes into the light. Discrimination, racism, fear, lies--it all comes to the surface and what the women discover about each other throughout the course of the night is powerful and undefinable. Just like in life, there are no good guys and no bad guys--only those who lurk in our past and terrorize us. There are no neatly tied loose ends--and there shouldn't be. Lhota doesn't necessarily leave us with hope, but maybe someday it'll be easier. ”
