    Excellent film/documentary. And what a great group. Fanny, the first all female rock band to sign to a major label - all but erased from rock and roll history. Hope lots of people see this and that Fanny get the recognition they deserve.

    I enjoyed most of this film but the second half really ruined it when it became increasingly preachy and promotional. The part where the band were shown on a march next to not just shouty feminists (of course the band were feminists, but they weren't shouty and annoying) but campaigners on issues like trans, which is often not even in the interests of women, felt totally tacked on and clumsy (look how down with the youth we are) and brought a four star film down to three. Shame, the first half was good

    Focuses far too much on all the various "isms" that supposedly kept them from being successful when the reality is that they were musically talented but lacked the ability to write hit songs. No different than hundreds of other male bands but no movies were made about them because it wouldn't feed the narrative. If you doubt that, then watch then end of this movie which features some band members at a feminist march with raised fists. Halfway through the movie the bass player says that they couldn't write "pop" songs. You could've ended it right there.

    An incredible tribute to an iconic band! An honest, sensitive and exuberant portrait of the past and present of these pioneering rockers. A must see if you're a fan and even more so for anyone just hearing about them. An important, indispensable piece of rock history!

    "Revivify Fanny. And I will feel that my work is done." -- David Bowie This film does exactly that and celebrates a band that includes Filipina American and queer bandmates -- who should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!

    This is an incredible movie about a very long forgotten incredible rock band! It's about women & the struggle thru make it in a field of men! Incredible footage & interviews makes this a very moving movie. If you thought you knew rock music, you haven't seen anything yet!

    A great documentary about a band whose recognition is long overdue. These women were pioneers on so many levels, and this film tells their story in an entertaining and compelling way. I am so glad I discovered this film and this band! See this film and check out their music!
