Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 7/10 by Edward CrouseWhat seems like a nut-on-a-bar-stool rant morphs into a triumphal evocation of the emotional-political bluster of that time.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanAnyone familiar with Reno's politically minded monologues won't be surprised by her fury, which has sometimes been fueled by a self-righteousness that's undermined her valid observations.
TV Guide Magazine - 6/10 by Maitland McDonaghDirector Nancy Savoca's no-frills record of a show forged in still-raw emotions captures the unsettled tenor of that post 9-11 period far better than a more measured or polished production ever could.
The A.V. Club - 6/10 by Scott TobiasFor a comedian who thrives on spontaneity, the heart of Reno's act seems conspicuously canned.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Stephen HoldenFlailing and pummeling the air, with body language that's part prizefighter, part baggy-pants clown, Reno is famous for her bluntness.
Variety - 5/10 by Dennis HarveyNancy Savoca's workmanlike record of a La Mama stage performance taped last December finds the comic spinning some not-especially-interesting anecdotes about her bewildered actions that day, before turning toward more incisive political commentary.
New York Post - 5/10 by Megan LehmannThe tiny stage can barely contain Reno's gale-force personality, as she paces and rants a stream-of-conscious monologue.
