The Seattle Times by

Oddly, the film lacks any footage of Twisted Sister’s videos or hit songs, which received heavy rotation on MTV. That may be a drawback for casual fans, but the juicy details about the band’s early days make up for it.

The New York Times by Glenn Kenny

The movie tells an incomplete version of the band’s story...but provides a comprehensive and sometimes harrowing portrayal of the grind a working bar band in the 1970s had to endure to get by.

60

Los Angeles Times by Katie Walsh

The film itself is a bit rudimentary, with amateurish titles, and editing choices that bloat the already extended length, but the interviews with band members and fans are insightful and engaging, with archival footage that truly rocks.

The Hollywood Reporter by Neil Young

Much like the legendary glam-metal band whose grindingly arduous rise to fame it lovingly chronicles, shock-rock-doc We Are Twisted F—ing Sister! is superficially "controversial" (profanity in the title!), essentially conventional, but very, very, very entertaining.
