Ronnie Scheib Variety R.H. Greene's docu succeeds admirably thanks to the charismatic oncamera presence of a 74-year-old Nurmi in an extended 1997 interview. Nov 19, 2012 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Vampira and Me works on multiple levels: as a Hollywood history lesson, as a portrait of mid-fifties Americana, and as a long-overdue tribute to the endlessly fascinating Nurmi, whom Greene befriended during the autumn of her years. Oct 26, 2012 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens A documentary made with truth and love, and one of my top three Must See Festival Films, Vampira And Me is a loving epitaph that will once again have Maila Nurmi and Vampira rising from the beyond. Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Phil Hall Film Threat A fine tribute to a ghoulish iconoclast Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 17, 2013 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson Nerdist It will tell you a lot about Vampira from one point of view, and it is a nice tribute in that regard. But it is not a thorough journalistic study, and disappoints if one expects that. Oct 26, 2012 Full Review Kirk Honeycutt honeycuttshollywood.com Vampira and Me winds up having much to say about stardom, friendships and betrayals along with delivering a slice of American pop cultural history.
