Critic Reviews:

• ” Girls Can’t Surf is a spectacular, angering, engrossing and inspiring yarn, well-assembled and packed with indelible personalities. “ – Graeme Tuckett (Stuff.co.nz)

• ” …a definitive documentary for female empowerment, while providing a satisfying narrative arc that vindicates the many sacrifices the film’s subjects had to make. “ – Patrick Scott (FILMINK, Australia)

• ” The film is a great tribute to all of these athletes and a timely reminder of everything that led up to the decision to raise the women’s prize money to parity with the men’s just two years ago. The current generation has much to thank them for. “ – Sandra Hall (Sydney Morning Herald)
