CRITICAL ACCLAIM:
"The documentary, which follows the career of Canadian musician Peaches... shows why her brand of feminist punk and electroclash has resonated for 20+ years." Rosie Long Decter, Billboard
"Shot over 17 years, it mingles intimate personal moments with visceral concert footage, its musical sequences knitted together with some of the best editing you’re likely to see this year." Jennie Kermode, Eye For Film
"Marie Losier, who has been following her for many years, clearly enjoys all the shenanigans on stage. But Losier also looks for quieter, more tender moments. She finds them." Marta Bałaga, Cineuropa
