Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"True to his subject, Kerslake favors energy over nuance. BAD REPUTATION is fast-paced, zipping from one talking-head interview to the next." - 09/27/2018 Los Angeles Times
"[A]n interview with Iggy Pop offers a tantalizing introduction to Kim Fowley, perhaps the most consequential person in Jett's career..." - 09/27/2018 Hollywood Reporter
"There are archival performances that span her entire career, and a notable number of 'famous fans' of Jett, including Iggy Pop, Debbie Harry, and Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day. There's footage of Jett’s early days, clips of all of her hits, and a bit of a catch-up on where she is now." - 09/28/2018 RogerEbert.com
"The stories of how she mentored younger bands are moving." - 09/27/2018 New York Times
