3/4
"Peralta's filmmaking is nearly as audacious as his skating. The movie often looks like an underground document."  Kansas City Star  Dan Lybarger

3/4
"Dogtown and Z-Boys more than exposes the roots of the skateboarding boom that would become "the punk kids' revolution.""  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B
"A fine, interesting documentary."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

C
"A fast-paced but narrowly-aimed look at the outlaw skateboarding movement of the '70s...disappointingly bland and adulatory."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3.5/5
"A very entertaining documentary, further proof that a good doc can be as much fun as a fictional film."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

3.5/5
"The film fearlessly gets under the skin of the people involved ... This makes it not only a detailed historical document, but an engaging and moving portrait of a subculture."  Film Threat  Rich Cline

3.5/5
"If you think a documentary about the birth of modern skateboarding sounds like something worth missing, think again."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

B
"An enthusiastic ode to a few of the pioneers of extreme sports."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

4.5/5
"Dogtown and Z-Boys does precisely what a documentary movie should do: it makes its subject fascinating whether you actually give a damn or not."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

A-
"More than simply a portrait of early extreme sports, this peek into the 1970s skateboard revolution is a skateboard film as social anthropology..."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

3/4
"Dogtown & Z-Boys evokes the blithe rebel fantasy with the kind of insouciance embedded in the sexy demise of James Dean."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
