Gimme Danger Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Miriam Di Nunzio
Those who know every shred of the band's story will find the film a cool reminder of what the Stooges meant to rock 'n' roll. Those who know little of their music will find Pop an interesting and forthcoming individual.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Against the steepest of odds, Iggy survives. Nearing 70, he looks healthier than ever, as if everything we know is wrong and wretched excess guarantees longevity.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Jarmusch's use of stock footage and snippets of old movies provides perfect backup for the personification of punk nihilism.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Both fans and newcomers to the Stooges will leave with the hairs on their inner ears singed (thanks partly to the film's particularly forceful sound design) and a song in their heart, even if that song is "Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell."
Pitchfork
Judy Berman
... by getting Iggy to talk about his art rather than his antics, Jarmusch performs the delicate feat of elucidating a beloved rock'n'roll persona without exploding it.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Iggy Pop, the band's front man and the only member to graduate to a solo career, is a source of endless hilarity as he recalls the band's grungy beginnings and lurching journey through the music business.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
The Detroit rockers may not have been "the greatest rock and roll band ever," as the movie declares in its thesis statement, but Jarmusch treats the group as such, which is what you want from a celebration of a band.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
This is a history lesson that, conventional or not, rocks hard. It can't help it.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A bittersweet, elegiac tone can't help but suffuse a film animated by so many anarchic spirits who have since left the planet, but it leaves viewers with the exhilarating, inspiring reassurance that we still have Iggy.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
The Stooges may be the biggest secret success story in music. Gimme Danger preserves their legacy better than any fan might have dared hope ...
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Pop is an easy guy to watch for almost two hours - amusing, self-deprecating and instantly likable.
Seattle Times
Jeff Albertson
Pop proves to be as likable and riveting on screen as he is on stage.
TIME Magazine
Isaac Guzmán
Hanging back and being cooler than cool has long been a Jarmusch trademark, but when he gets too close to his idols it's an instinct that makes great artists look smaller than they really are.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Preston Jones
Diehard Stooges fans likely won't come away from Gimme Danger having learned anything particularly revelatory...but as a celebration of artistic tenacity, Jarmusch's appreciation for the band and its music serves as a handsomely made valentine.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Chris Riemenschneider
If you're looking for a rock star to carry a movie mostly by himself ... Iggy (aka James Osterberg), now 69, is a good candidate.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
"Gimme Danger" is essentially a family album assembled by an enamored outsider.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"Gimme Danger" is ... plenty entertaining and includes many moments of foaming-at-the-mouth musical fury.
Salon.com
Caryn Rose
Rock and roll is at its core and by default not meant to be neutral, but Jarmusch does an excellent job at steering the narrative as objectively as possible.
Slant Magazine
Elise Nakhnikian
The film reveals the erudition and shrewd self-awareness that Jim Osterberg drew on to become Iggy Pop.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Dan DeLuca
A journalistic valentine from Stooges fan Jim Jarmusch to his favorite band.
