| FILMINK (Australia)Erin FreeIn the great pantheon of rock docos, this is an instant classic. |
| Seven DaysRick KisonakIt took a while, but the world eventually caught up with the Stooges. What a difference 40 years can make. |
| The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicEven if you don’t agree with Jarmusch’s introductory claim that The Stooges are the greatest rock and roll band ever, there’s still a lot of pleasure to be gleaned from Gimme Danger; most of it coming from Iggy’s love of the band, the music, and inability to be anyone but his incomparable and uncompromising self. |
| Seattle TimesJeff AlbertsonJarmusch allows Pop and the music of the Stooges to be the focus of the film. For most fans, that will be enough: Pop proves to be as likable and riveting on screen as he is on stage. |
| Philadelphia InquirerDan DeLucaJarmusch’s movie serves both as a fine intro to one of rock’s great bands and as a window for longtime fans into what makes Iggy tick. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeDespite all the hardships, the film is enchanting as a tale of people who, for the most part, did what they loved, and in some cases are still doing it. |
| Under the RadarJ.A. KordoshA heartfelt testament to one of rock and roll's truly singular acts. |
| Willamette WeekNathan CarsonJarmusch leaves no fingerprints, making this documentary a rather straightforward, artless exercise. Nevertheless, the film is carried by its subject matter, the music and a handful of long interviews with Iggy Pop that largely serve as narration. |
| NewcityRay Pride"I don't wanna belong to the glam people. I don't wanna belong to the hip-hop people, I don't wanna belong to any of it, I don't wanna belong to the TV people, alternative people, none of it, I don't wanna be a punk, I just wanna be." |
| Reason OnlineKurt LoderTells the story of the Stooges in all of its calamity and eventual triumph. |
