Peter Bradshaw Guardian It’s another film to leave you sighing over New York’s lost 70s heyday of gritty reality and creativity and danger. Rated: 4/5 Aug 4, 2022 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety A raw inside slice of punk nostalgia and punk history. Jul 25, 2022 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The first documentary about Max’s Kansas City. Rated: B+ Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Chris Barsanti PopMatters ...a solid and necessary addition to the underground music documentary canon. Aug 10, 2022 Full Review Nick Hasted The Arts Desk If you were hankering to time-travel back to those golden punk nights, this gives a good idea of how ordinary, even plain awful, they could be. There’s something dispiriting, and chastening, about a film too cheap to feed our fantasies. Rated: 2/5 Aug 8, 2022 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman Though the film could have benefitted from tighter editing and more journalistic rigour, it’s also a treasure-trove of archival footage, including the last ever show of Sid Vicious. Rated: 3/5 Aug 4, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
