Critic Reviews

  • Ty Burr, Boston Globe

    How are girls supposed to behave in a culture that tells them they're Disney princesses for the first 12 years and sex toys after that? Girls Rock! has one answer: Strap on a Fender and rage against the machine.

  • Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune

    There's so much joy and coming-of-age angst turned into nuggets of gold that it seems uncharitable to ask, what might be missing (more onscreen appreciation for rock's goddesses and gods, perhaps.)

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    It's goooood.

  • Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

    Young women find expression for more than their music in Girls Rock!, a jubilant documentary about a place where power chords and empowerment go hand in hand.
