"Bewitching." - Lindsay Zoladz, New York Times

"One of 2021's very best films... a portrait of revolution that feels strangely timeless." - Criterion Cast

"Electrifying... Feels less like a film and more like a manifesto." - Rogerebert.com

"A vital historical corrective." - Los Angeles Times

"Eye-opening, ear-scrambling joy." - Mark Kermode

"Terrific. Electrifying. Unorthodox." - Slant

"Sisters With Transistors is your new favourite music doc." - Johnny Davis, Esquire

"Sisters With Transistors is more than a music documentary. It's a long overdue tribute to the women that broke barriers in music, technology, and society as a whole. This is not a retrospective, it's a new beginning. Who knows how many future maestros will be inspired by this film?" - Owen Richards, The Art Desk

"A magical, important film." - Jim Kolmar, SXSW

"A vibrant and exciting film... imbued with a spirit of  innovation, imagination and defiance against the odds." - Sophie Brown, CPH:DOX NEXT: WAVE AWARD
