John DeFore Hollywood Reporter This friendly doc is one more small chapter in the ongoing oral history of Downtown Manhattan around the turn of the Eighties, and will be appreciated by those who just can't hear enough. Jul 25, 2017 Full Review Nathanael Hood The Young Folks An outsider by design but an insider by choice, Alago forced the world to bend to his own passions and will. May we all be so lucky. Rated: 7/10 Jul 30, 2017 Full Review Edward Douglas Film Journal International While it may not be the best-constructed rock doc [...] Who the F**k is still a satisfyingly quick 77-minute film.
