Strip Down, Rise Up Reviews
Common Sense Media Barbara Shulgasser
Traumatized women heal by pole dancing; language, sexuality. Celluloid Dreams Peter Canavese
What pole dancing is outside of the male gaze: body positivity, trauma recovery and reclaiming body and soul from toxic gender roles. Life-changing and very powerful. FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Amy Nicholson
It's a very interesting, moving idea, and there's a lot of women here who I found incredibly powerful. The doc is poignant, surprising and deftly reawakens questions about "patriarchy" - not by being a pole-dancing polemic but by foregrounding its characters' experiences. A moving examination of women from all walks of life and how self love and confidence can come from unexpected places.
