It feels visceral to watch some of the historic footage unfold.

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

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

Informative, timely, and important. But as a piece of cinema, 'She's Beautiful' is pedestrian at best.

Rated: 2.5/5

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

She's Beautiful When She's Angry's portrait of "This is what feminism looked like," seems lacking.
