Stephen A. Russell Orion's Shoulder (Substack) Tracing who she was before it all blew up, how everything changed and where she’s headed next, it's a rip-snorter. Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest How Jewish college student Merrill Beth Nisker from Toronto developed, honed, and expanded into her aggressive punk persona “Peaches” seen through astutely edited private archival footage, interviews and 20th anniversary tour of her germinal 1st album Rated: 8/10 Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Sean Fallon Film Inquiry Teaches of Peaches shows us live performances from the anniversary tours that show how 20 years later the ferocity, talent, sex appeal, and provocativeness have not dulled a single bit Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Nadine Whitney The Curb Merrill Nesker is the reason to watch Teaches of Peaches. A lacklustre presentation from the filmmakers can’t keep mother/fatherf*cking Peaches from kicking collective reactionary ass. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Pat Mullen POV Magazine It’s edgy, defiant, and unabashed in its directness. Jun 26, 2024 Full Review Sarah Manvel In Their Own League One deathless song will enable the people who need your work to find you, and vice versa. This is not the greatest musical documentary that’s ever been made, but it’s a joyous record of one artist at one moment in time, and that’s worth a very great deal.
