Director and star Lina Esco keeps this compact film moving with enjoyable buoyancy until it bids adieu with a showy climax that needs a serious postscript. Read full review

Diana Clarke

Dec 9, 2014

It's too rare for movies to depict women working together as friends to effect political change, and this one makes it seem righteous, loud, and fun as a rock concert. Free the Nipple won't change the conversation, but it might help start one. Read full review

The plucky DIY spirit that pervades small-scale organizations might work when it comes to launching movements in real-time—and Free The Nipple ideals have already bled over into the non-cinematic world—but it makes for a slapdash and slippery movie experience that never comes together.

Dec 11, 2014

The logistics of raising money and securing permits for the cause are not the most compelling or irreverent subject. The movie’s goal is straightforward advocacy. Read full review

Diego Semerene

Dec 9, 2014

This is kind of didactic topical movie that distributes its rhetoric evenly between characters with clear distinction as to who's playing devil's advocate to the other one's points. Read full review

Shallow and frustratingly misguided drama. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Dec 11, 2014

Featuring endless scenes of multitudes of women baring their breasts in public in various areas of New York City, Free the Nipple is an unfortunately tone-deaf and poorly executed drama that doesn't exactly help its cause championed by the celebrity likes of Miley Cyrus and Lena Dunham.

It's unbelievable...

Anyone would think in certain parts of the world women aren't being, sold as sex slaves, beaten, raped, stoned, allowed any freedoms. DAILY. If women seriously cared about equal rights you would think they would put energy into preventing these things rather thanIt's unbelievable...

Anyone would think in certain parts of the world women aren't being, sold as sex slaves, beaten, raped, stoned, allowed any freedoms. DAILY. If women seriously cared about equal rights you would think they would put energy into preventing these things rather than exercising their right to bare nipples. It's sad to see women plights in modern countries incomparable to other countries where culture and religion are ruling negating human rights.

Oh well women keep up the good fight.

I guess your equal rights voice is watered down to nudity, when the real volume could be found elsewhere.

I wonder if a woman who has had acid thrown on her would trade places with any of these oppressed and tortured women in the film?… Expand
