Joanna in the very best sense of the word, is an animal - raw, instinctive, unpredictable and compelling. You can't take your eyes off her."
Phillip John, multi BAFTA nominated Director, Marvel, Downton Abbey, Spotless, New Tricks, Being Human, ITV/BBC/PBS
After meeting Joanna at the Tribeca Film Festival and being enamored with her charisma, I familiarized myself with her portfolio and was incredibly impressed with her acting. I cast her in my forthcoming feature film Eon, based on the short film which caught the attention of Steven Spielberg.
Emily Carmichael, Director and writer for Spielberg, Amblin Entertainment, Pacific Rim, Jurassic World 3, 20th Century Fox
Joanna is a hard working, intelligent actor who is dedicated, and can take direction well, as well as drawing on her own initiative. She can bring to any role, no matter how small, or how challenging, a strong and committed performance"

Joanna reminds me in her acting, elegance and power of Vanessa Redgrave - which having worked with her too, is the highest compliment I can give an actor. Joanna is a truly great actress. She must be on stage."

Joanna was fantastic to have on set for Svengali! She was superb to work with, and even in a small part, brought so many great ideas to the table. I'd highly recommend working with her in any capacity on film, TV or theatre."
Jonathan Owen, writer and director, British indie hit "Svengali" starring Martin Freeman (The Hobbit) and BAFTA award winning Vicky McClure
Joanna's greatest attribute as an actress - is the ease with which she can portray perhaps the most difficult task of all - vulnerability."
