In addition to helping him perfect the lie detector test, the two women also inspire him to create one of the greatest female superheroes of all time – the beloved comic book character Wonder Woman.

"Professor Marston & the Wonder Women stands head, shoulders, boots, tiara and lasso above many independent films of the moment. See it and you'll come away with a new appreciation for the polywonder of creativity."
Wall Street Journal
"It's a lively and absorbing picture - intelligently sexy, tastefully salacious but serious enough to stick."
Chicago Tribune
"Professor Marston is escapist entertainment of the highest, most nourishing order."
