Peter Keough Boston Globe With Quatro as guide, Firmager follows her progress, from the all-girl garage band she formed in 1964 with her sisters after they saw the Beatles on "The Ed Sullivan Show" to the ups-and-downs of her solo career, to eclectic side trips... Jul 5, 2020 Full Review Chris Willman Variety "Suzi Q" is almost as charming as its subject, who is seen in bookending scenes putting the leather back on for some raucous rock shows in the lead-up to her recent 70th birthday. Jul 3, 2020 Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com Like Joan Jett says: Suzi Quatro really 'should be much more discussed.' Hopefully Suzi Q will start that long-overdue conversation. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 1, 2020 Full Review Jane Freebury The Canberra Times (Australia) Bold, mouthy, a looker free of artifice, she was an original, the first woman to lead a rock band, sing lead and play an instrument. This is a very comprehensive tribute to her career. Rated: 4/5 Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed While it doesn't entirely lend new insight, it's still a good occasion to celebrate the one and only Suzi Quatro. Jan 2, 2021 Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review The feature-length work about pop-rock sensation Suzi Quatro, Suzi Q, hits just the right spot for me Rated: 3/4 Jul 22, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Well done if stocky rock doc. But man. These songs have aged like milk. Absolute cornball stuck in its era. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/20/22 Full Review Audience Member This is a UK doc, not USA; look at spelling of neighbour and labour in the movie. I don't know why I watched this but I am glad I did. This was an excellent documentary on Suzi Quatro who made it all over the world except in her home: the USA. I was amazed as she has been married to Brits, lived in the UK and her kids have accent yet Suzi still sounds Detroit (My wife is UK & Aussie and her accent has mellowed so much but she drugged my NYC accent; I don't sound like Al Pacino or Michael Moriarity anymore). I asked my wife if she heard of her being a Brit/Australian but she is younger than I and she goes; OMG I loved her, I had her poster, she is Aussie. I gave a look of you disrespected my fellow citizen. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Best Rock Doc I've seen. Why is she not in the Rock and Roll HOF? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Industry influencing, era defining, and simply iconic. Pure Rock and Roll... That's Suzi Q !! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member My review is slightly biased, given I was one of the Executive Producers of this film, but then it isn't, because the very reason I chose to become part of the production team exemplifies how fantastic and culturally relevant this feature music documentary really is. Suzi Quatro is a name that most Gen X's have heard of and few Gen Y's or Millennial's know about, yet the footprints she left across the industry and the roads she paved for every female music artist will be remembered forever. The first of her kind, a story told beautifully and authentically through her musical highs and lows and well as her personal ongoing struggles with all manner of relationships. Suzi's story is everyone's story and it will undoubtedly inspire and resonate with whoever watches it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing doco/movie. I was a little skeptical at first, thinking the movie may lose me or drag on, but I was surprised how interesting and entertaining it really was from start to finish. I remember listening to her records as a boy and I'm a fan of Blondie. All in all, a must watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
