CGiii Comment

One for the feminists...

Kathleen Hanna - for those of you who don't know - is as punk as lettuce. We like lettuce...but, not on its own.

Kathleen is a very pleasant, heterosexual, middle-class woman who likes to talk and scream and sing about important issues...however, according to this film, those important issues seem to get lost within the endless archival clips.

Now, if she had been or was or is a superstar - this kind of retrospective would have been an okay film. But, alas, we had never heard of her or her many bands...and, what we took away from the whole thing was...a pleasant lady with a good voice and a terrible taste in music...not very punk.
