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."

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 This makes it not only a detailed historical document, but an engaging and moving portrait of a subculture."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."

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."
