Kyle Turner New York Times Freedia's beguiling charisma carries the film, and it makes the case that her impressive power, in conjunction with collective action, could help carry a movement, too. Oct 15, 2020 Full Review Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter The tragedies within the city's borders keep mounting, but this ultimately hopeful portrait of New Orleans suggests the solutions may be found within it, too. Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest The ability to see real power from a community starting to believe in the strength of their own collective voice, just as Big Freedia discovered in herself years earlier, proves to be an inspiration. Jul 20, 2020 Full Review Kayla Randall Washington City Paper The film takes viewers on a journey with Freedia through the area, and it covers the effects of everything from mass incarceration to Hurricane Katrina on the psyche of the people in the city.
