Movie Reviews

Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonIt will have you digging out your old copies of 'Energy' and 'Kerplunk!' for a fresh listen.
Film Inquiry - 8/10 by Jacqui BlueTurn It Around is a nostalgia piece for those who lived it, a film for the fans to enjoy and a tribute to the man who set it all in motion.
MetroActive - 8/10 by Richard von BusackIf there were a more thorough account of second-wave punk than Corbett Redford's documentary Turn it Around: The Story of East Bay Punk, would you even be able to sit through it?
Variety - 8/10 by Dennis HarveyCorbett Redford’s film channels and sustains the energy of restless youth while communicating the distinctive qualities of a community that carried collectivist 1960s ideals into a new generation, even as it rejected any vestige of their hippie parents’ music.
Film Experience - 7/10 by Glenn DunksIt is also significant to note that it places a deserved recurring spotlight onto the scene's women and LGBTQ punk artists, as well as the inclusive attitudes of those who found themselves building a flourishing punk scene...
Film Pulse - 6/10 by Adam PattersonDespite its unorganized content, overwhelming runtime and information overload, I couldn't help but be heartened by the sincerity and love put into in this film.
Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by John DeForeHas value to all connoisseurs of punk culture, who will recognize the trials faced by a community attempting to put high-minded values into action.
Pittsburgh City Paper - 6/10 by Al HoffDespite the grubbiness of the scene, the film has a rosy nostalgia that is an inevitable by-product of middle-aged people looking back at their hilariously awesome weirdo salad days.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Monica CastilloWhile zine-style animated sequences and VHS taped interviews enliven the pace, the documentary is burdened by too much minutiae. Not every scar earned at a concert deserves to be immortalized in a documentary.
Movie Nation - 6/10 by Roger MooreDirector Corbett Redford — a longtime member of that scene, so don’t take his name at face value — tracked down generations of Bay Area punks and tells as complete a story of the music, ethos, lifestyle and politics of this movement as anyone could want.
