Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The wealth of anecdotal material provides a fascinating perspective on how the movement intersected -- and sometimes clashed -- with other liberal crusades of the 60s.
It's a bubbling cauldron of newfound freedom and energy coming to life, an inspiring reminder of what people of a like mind and heart can accomplish. "She's Beautiful When She's Angry" is a thing of beauty indeed.
A superbly researched and edited documentary about the women's movement in the 1960s.
Dore's film should be seen. Take your daughters. And your sons.
