2.5/4
Even the title sounds like a hardheaded comeback to a proclamation nobody made. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Aug 10, 2007
Susan Dynner's documentary about the past 30 years of punk music doesn't exactly break any new ground. But it does offer an entertaining overview that is leavened with humorous philosophical digressions. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times Jul 27, 2007
2.5/5
Poor punk. Such a bundle of complexes, most of them encapsulated in the needlessly defensive title of Susan Dynner's documentary Punk's Not Dead. Go to Full Review

3/4
