New York Times

An inspirational film, with a fairly conventional structure and a vivid, sometimes heroic cast of women.

Rated: 3/5

An almost wholesome chronicle of the origins of the roller-derby renaissance,

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

The movie is at its best -- and its most unexpected -- as a surprise economics lesson: a paean to the value of collectivism vs. the typical capitalistic business model in which all the power is at the top.

Rated: 3/4

Must have been an inspiration for the movie 'Whip It'. Finally a doc that women will love, but confirms my beliefs that women can be nutty.

Roller derby documentary, more about business building and the politics and betrayals of it than the sport itself. Kind of cheaply made and loose but enjoyable. Soundtrack by Trail of Dead.

If you enjoyed this documentary, you might also like the book âRollergirl: Totally True Tales from the Trackâ by Melissa âMeliciousâ Joulwan. You'll remember Melicious as the one with the short, blonde hair and killer smile (she was first in the Hellcats, then in the Hot Rod Honeys).

Not much skating, but a fascinating look at the behind-the-scenes politics of the league that helped bring back roller derby.

Just as i thought a documentery based on "roller derby" that actually shows it how it is. The documentery looks at a bunch of bored woman who never really made the grade for any sport and numerous other so called "misfits" and throws them together to meet up on a regular basis to skate round in a f**king cirlce trying to overtake so called "blockers" who basically block two "jammers" that are trying to get past them to score points.This is a lowbrow look at the sport which basically by the end of it will have you wanting you to blow your brains out or punch someone in the face...either way you'll want your f**king money back. Go watch my dinner with andre instead....
