Reviews
“By no means a pinup anthem. Its tone is semi parodic, with lurid black-and-white cinematography and brassy tongue-in-cheek music. But Harron stops well short of camp….This nudie-cutie world has a comfy surrogate-family aspect to it, with women literally calling many of the shots.”
– David Edelstein, New York magazine
