Samantha Updegrave Bitch Media It feels visceral to watch some of the historic footage unfold. Jan 25, 2021 Full Review Nathalie Atkinson Globe and Mail Ms. Dore's work is not only a tribute to past bravery and determination, but also a warning and urgent rallying cry to the next wave. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 3, 2015 Full Review Barbara VanDenburgh Arizona Republic Although much of that archival footage is incredibly familiar after decades of exposure - the burning bras, the clever protest signs, the impassioned speeches, Gloria Steinem - it's the footage of the opposition that really shocks. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 19, 2015 Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema Informative, timely, and important. But as a piece of cinema, 'She's Beautiful' is pedestrian at best. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 10, 2021 Full Review Bernard Boo Way Too Indie Blistering, informative, and wildly entertaining. But the most jaw-dropping thing about the film is that it's somehow the very first of its kind; never before has the women's movement been the subject of a feature documentary. Rated: 8/10 Mar 19, 2019 Full Review Ren Jender Bitch Flicks She's Beautiful When She's Angry's portrait of "This is what feminism looked like," seems lacking.
