Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The film has its sensibilities in the right place.

rotten:
Aside from Ms. Gershon's performance (none of the other cast members actually played), there's little to elevate the music -- or the movie -- above cliche.
– Gary Dowell,

fresh:
Played with the right combination of weariness and optimism by Gina Gershon, Jacki will be recognizable to any woman who has ever strapped on a guitar and plugged in, as well as to those of us who have encountered her.

rotten:
A rock drama that's hung over with inauthenticity.

fresh:
It's a raw and raucous rock story that, for once, gets the big picture and the small details right.
