Documentary about rock star Joan Jett.
Leave your thoughts about Bad Reputation.
| Movie NationRoger MooreIt’s no surprise that the story of rock’s original female badass makes for a gritty, inspiring documentary. |
| Nashville SceneSteve EricksonBad Reputation makes clear that - even in an age when rock music is growing increasingly unfashionable - Jett is utterly sincere about the idealism and bravado of her biggest hit, "I Love Rock 'n' Roll." |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Kathy FennessyNo one-not even Cesar Award-winning actress Kristen Stewart-is better at being Joan Jett than Joan Jett. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThe movie balances electrifying archival footage with useful contextual cultural analysis. |
| What She SaidAnne BrodieFind out why a trip to Japan was a tipping point, how Jett's heart infection spurred artistic growth, why she turned down Noriega's offer of friendship, and what she's doing these days. |
| Time OutJoshua RothkopfA punk call-to-arms about being yourself, this Joan Jett documentary vibrates with attitude and a true spirit of independence. |
| MetroActiveRichard von BusackWhile the testimonials for Jett abound, particularly from Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill, we don't get very deep into her inner life. It's a warm film, though. |
| GuardianLeslie FelperinThe big treat is seeing Jett herself talk and watching her still-strong bond with producer and best friend Kenny Laguna: two leather-clad old mates, constantly bickering but inseparable. |
| HeyUGuysLinda MarricA compelling look at the life and the legend of one of the most famous faces of punk rock. |
| CineVueKatie DriscollKevin Kerslake’s Bad Reputation doesn’t explore just Jett’s rock star image and the added layers of hostility and confusion that her gender brings to the term ‘rock star’ but also, how cinema weaves its elements within the world of music, it’s aesthetic and subcultures, cinema and music as creating its own little world. |
