The New York TimesRachel SaltzJun 2, 2011
These interviews form the backbone of !W.A.R., and like the film, they're passionate, contentious, funny, sincere, politically attuned. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeJun 2, 2011
It took 42 years for filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson to make !Women Art Revolution. The film, about the emerging feminist movement, is comprehensive and vibrant. Read full review

VarietyJohn AndersonJun 2, 2011
Anyone seeking a dialectic, of course, can look elsewhere, but Hershman Leeson's film is a valuable resource on a movement whose issues remain relevant. Read full review

New York PostV.A. MusettoJun 3, 2011
While I have no argument with Leeson's political views, her presentation -- mostly a succession of talking heads -- is dry and uninspired. These women deserve better. Read full review

Slant MagazineLauren WissotJun 2, 2011
Unlike Pamela Tanner Boll's truly inquisitive "Who Does She Think She Is?", which delves deeply and personally into the lives of a handful of working artist moms, Hershman Leeson introduces us only superficially to her dozens of pioneering friends. Read full review
