| The A.V. ClubAnnie ZaleskiThe documentary ends up both a delightful ’90s time capsule and a sharp analysis of the social and cultural forces that shaped Morissette’s career—for better and worse. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Chandler LevackAlison Klayman’s documentary about the making of Jagged Little Pill should be as raw as its source material, but plays it incredibly safe instead. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireJagged rides the wave of that excitement, but avoids opportunities to explore deeper below the surface. |
| ConsequenceClint WorthingtonIf you’re looking for a heartwarming, affirming doc about how yes, you’re right to love Alanis Morissette, it’ll probably work for you. But don’t expect to learn anything new, or be wowed by its presentation. |
| User ReviewMarcDoyleI've already watched this doc three times. Something infectious about the way her debut cut through the samey noise of the time to offer something authentic. I wasn't even into AM at the time - kind of got sick of the overplaying of the songs. But in retrospect, really great story. |
| User ReviewctmazinNot sure why I was expecting more, but it this is as about as by-the-numbers as music docs get, just a bunch of talking heads waxing rhapsodic. It's only really saved by the strength of the music it chronicles. |
