It's the music, though, including a wealth of galvanic performance footage from the Bikinis, particularly, that really makes this worth seeing. It's killer stuff indeed.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The way Hanna burst onto the scene is just as interesting as how she faded from it.
The movie succeeds as a punk chronicle by focusing on a true believer who was lionized by many but who turned out to be only human.
"The Punk Singer" is a revealing look at Hanna's life, who throughout the film is willing to speak out about her struggles and triumphs in an open and honest way.
Where are the riot-grrrls of today? Take your daughters to the movie, then ask them.
