Overall, though, the film does portray the relationship between women and guns with nuance-and despite misgivings about gun ownership as a method of personal protection-is a welcome reprieve from the usual cinematic depictions of gun use.

Joe Neumaier

New York Daily News

Director Cathryne Czubek's well-researched, incredibly lively chronicle of the way guns are marketed to, coveted by, and portrayed with women is a vital glimpse into a cultural phenomenon.

Rated: 3/5

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

No matter how moving or morally ambivalent these women are, Ms. Czubek seems content to hop from one anecdote to another, unwilling to shape her findings into a larger investigation or deeper analysis.

Rated: 2/5

Film School Rejects

There is little to this film that isn't very obvious and sometimes even oblivious.

Rated: C

Oregonian

A Girl and a Gun seems designed to encourage the growing number of American ladies packing heat, but it's practically reverse propaganda...

Rated: 2/5

Prairie Miller

WBAI Radio

Touches on women packing heat lately, and why. And what it all has to do with economic privilege and economic insecurity; J. Edgar Hoover; fetishizing violent women in Hollywood; Democrats; and crotchless boutique female huntress wear as all the rage.
