Peter Bradshaw Guardian 03/23/2018
2/5
A well-intentioned but baggy, unfocused and unsatisfying documentary about punk legends the Slits, which feels like an assemblage of footage that could have been shaped in a clearer and more interesting way. Go to Full Review Ed Potton The Times (UK) 03/23/2018
2/5
There are some engaging talking heads... But although the Slits may well have set "a new paradigm for females", hearing about it eventually becomes as boring as the Pistols and the Clash banging on about how empowering punk was. Go to Full Review Aimee Knight Little White Lies 03/22/2018
3/5
Tribute finally paid to our nasty foremothers. Go to Full Review Jack Sargeant FILMINK (Australia) 08/28/2018
Driven by its own punk-aesthetic - bold intertitles, archive celluloid, and so on - Badgley's film is a celebration of the band and their achievements. Go to Full Review Benjamin H. Smith Decider 07/16/2018
Lovingly done and holds your attention the whole way through. Go to Full Review Michael Levine Bust Magazine 06/28/2018
