Stephen Holden New York Times 01/01/2000
If the movie suffers from some awkward plotting, its band of self-styled outsiders... are alive in all their gawky floundering sincerity. And the performances, especially Ms. Ryan's ominous Suzy, have a wonderfully lived-in spontaneity. Go to Full Review Cathay Che The Advocate 06/01/2022
Despite its setting in the Seattle music scene and its righteous send-ups of riot-grrrl civil disobedience, Slaves feels forced and contrived from start to finish. Go to Full Review David Noh Film Journal International 07/11/2007
This is all fairly excruciating. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 07/26/2005

04/29/2011 This is the most annoying, self indulgent piece of crap ever filmed. This film tries to capture the Seattle music scene of the 90s and misses the target BIG TIME!! See more Read all reviews
