Girls Rock! Reviews
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
The directors take a compassionate approach that encourages their young subjects to open up in remarkable ways, making this a must-see both for girls and the grownups who love them.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Young women find expression for more than their music in Girls Rock!, a jubilant documentary about a place where power chords and empowerment go hand in hand.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Girls Rock! happily pulls off the trick of being both entertaining and moving; grown-up girls may well watch with an occasional tear as we see the campers subtly transform.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
How are girls supposed to behave in a culture that tells them they're Disney princesses for the first 12 years and sex toys after that? Girls Rock! has one answer: Strap on a Fender and rage against the machine.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
There's so much joy and coming-of-age angst turned into nuggets of gold that it seems uncharitable to ask, what might be missing (more onscreen appreciation for rock's goddesses and gods, perhaps.)
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
What the girls might lack in musical talent and experience they make up for with infectious energy.
Chicago Tribune
Sid Smith
There's too little clarity or thoroughness in the biographies, too few prolonged scenes of the girls creating their songs.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Some of the footage is entertaining. Too much of it is confusing, repetitive or unremarkable.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Though Girls Rock! is nothing if not well meaning, it doesn't always feel like the best possible film on the subject.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Frankly, the scenes of these girls trying to work together and share ideas are enough to make the movie's point.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
The directors sacrifice substantially investigating the four girls for Morgan Spurlock-ish populist gimmickry.
Bitch Media
Debbie Rasmussen
The film really is incredible.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
It's goooood.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
captures a good deal more than the sometimes discordant music produced by these young, would-be chick-monsters of rock.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
In one slender documentary codirectors Shane King and Arne Johnson accomplish what Hollywood routinely bungles: incisively depicting the inner lives of complicated young females.
Bay Area Reporter
David Lamble
Girls Rock! is often so respectful of the egos and privacy of its four main subjects that we're left in the dark as to just what we're suppose to be observing.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Annie Wagner
Come for the fleeting shots of camp counselors Carrie Brownstein and Beth Ditto, stay for the wicked banshee screams of 7-year-old Palace and her song about how much San Francisco sucks.
Bust Magazine
Errin Donahue
When you see these formerly awkward girls make their debuts in a concert for more than 600 people, you'll want to throw the devil horns and cry.

Christopher Null
comes off a bit like an extended advertisement for the place
