John Doyle Globe and Mail 07/13/2020
The executive producers are fashion designer John Varvatos and music legend Iggy Pop. Keep that in mind about this often brilliant and illuminating but sometimes vacillating series. Go to Full Review Kylie Northover The Age (Australia) 04/22/2020
Much more than in many documentaries featuring talking heads, the line-up here impart genuinely meaty insights, anecdotes and archival photos and footage, some never before seen. Go to Full Review Rob Harvilla The Ringer 03/22/2019
It will take many more stars saying many more loopy and sardonic things to make Punk worthy of the word, or at least the once-potent platonic ideal of the word. Go to Full Review Corey Seymour Vogue 03/22/2019
I don't envy any producer trying to wrangle this particular herd of cats-I'm guessing that having Iggy Pop as executive producer helped out immensely-but the results are impressive. Go to Full Review Alexis Gunderson Paste Magazine 03/11/2019
6.0/10
I realized many of my frustrations with Punk could be boiled down to the fact that punk rockers reveling in the kind of navel-gazing nostalgia this kind of documentary project requires seems anathema to the whole punk-rock ethos. Go to Full Review Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily 03/06/2019
It's a wonderfully created playlist. There's nothing new here, but what there is is swaggerful greatest hits for fans and newbies. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
