3/4  "Even though the film runs a brief 71 minutes -- finishing off with footage of Reno talking with New Yorkers on the street in the aftermath of 9/11 -- Reno shows enough gusto to make you a fan."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER

3/5  "Director Nancy Savoca's no-frills record of a show forged in still-raw emotions captures the unsettled tenor of that post 9-11 period far better than a more measured or polished production ever could."
-- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE

3/5  "Works because Reno doesn't become smug or sanctimonious towards the audience."
-- Kevin Courrier, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE

  "The film delivers not just the full assault of Reno’s immense wit and insight, but a time travel back to what it felt like during those unforgettably uncertain days."
-- Doris Toumarkine, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL

Cream of the Crop
FRESH 75%
  "What seems like a nut-on-a- bar-stool rant morphs into a triumphal evocation of the emotional-political bluster of that time."
-- Edward Crouse, VILLAGE VOICE

3/5  "If Reno is to the left of liberal on the political spectrum, her tough, funny, rather chaotic show isn't subversive so much as it is nit-picky about the hypocrisies of our time."
-- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES

2/4  "When [Reno] lets her radical flag fly, taking angry potshots at George W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, Larry King, et al., Reno devolves into a laugh-free lecture."
-- Megan Lehmann, NEW YORK POST

  "[Reno] delivers a monologue that manages to incorporate both the horror and the absurdity of the situation in a well-balanced fashion."
-- Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

If I could be anywhere: "Back in Cuba, sitting Indian style on the Malecon. Mojito in one hand, handsome revolutionary in the other."
