The access Smith grants Lind is remarkable.

Gary Goldstein

Los Angeles Times

There may be an intriguing, perhaps even profound story behind Smith's growth as a singular artist and woman, but director Elvira Lind keeps too much on the surface, making it hard to invest in Smith's often esoteric, self-centered journey.

It doesn't know what it wants to be, or what story it wants to tell.

Rated: 1/4

Battleship Pretension

There's more on the horizon for Bobbi Jene Smith and I hope to see what her future will yield. I guess there's this film to thank for that. Laura Dern's brief appearance is a plus.

Laura Davis

One Room With A View

A whirling kinaesthetic biopic that celebrates the fierce, unglamorous work of one relentless woman. There's even a surprise appearance from Laura Dern!

Rated: 3/5

Marisa Carpico

The Pop Break

There's a rawness to [the dances], an intimacy very much like the honest, unfiltered access we get into Smith's life during the film.

Rated: 9/10
