Critic Reviews

Excellent documentary American Hardcore chronicles the short-lived but influential musical moment when a defiantly anti-commercial underground put a distinctive U.S. stamp on the hitherto Brit-driven punk movement.Full Review

Dennis Harvey
Variety

Stands as a valuable chronicle of a brief and snarling musical movement.Full Review

Ann Hornaday
Washington Post

A raucous, relevant documentary, capturing the mood of the times and the participants' best anecdotes.Full Review

Noel Murray
The Onion (A.V. Club)

Messed up as it is, you can't tear your eyes away from this explosion of brutal sounds and images.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

Illuminating nostalgia, stuffed with all the right tattooed talking heads (like Black Flag's Henry Rollins), plus grim-looking concert footage of wailing skinny guys.Full Review
