...a real trip down memory lane for people involved in the early feminist movement in the United States (the soundtrack alone will push your nostalgia button), and a great resource for teaching...

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 14, 2012

Contrasting with the ferment of the times, the film is orderly and rather subdued, but it's an excellent introduction to a movement that produced artists as diverse as Yoko Ono, Cindy Sherman, and Miranda July.

An astute mix of interviews with artists, critics and experts on the movement.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 16, 2011

It's affecting, and the tone, which is polemical, is also rueful and realistic.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 14, 2011

Self-described "patchy" documentary about a determined movement of female artists to gain visibility in a male-dominated world pummels with scores of talking heads and archival material.
