"this lost treasure trove of cringe-making softcore, outrageous horror and balls-to-the-wall action... celebrates a nation humping, slicing and hammering out its modern identity through popular cultural forms."

"If the thought of a new Brian Trenchard-Smith movie is more exhilarating than a new Bryan Singer movie... then Mark Hartley's "Not Quite Hollywood" is the film for you."

Edward Havens
"Engaging, fast-paced documentary about the glory days of Australian exploitation movies that will delight existing fans of scurrilous films from Down Ynder and recruit new one from the ranks of moviegoers who aren't offended by extensive nudity, violence"
Film Journal International
Maitland McDonagh
4/5
"Oddball horror flicks, sexploitation romps, car-chase extravaganzas - the clips burn throughout this film with a tone as giddy as its subject."
Film Threat
Matthew Sorrento
2.5/4
"Its shallowness is nonetheless in tune with its subject: the gory, violent, sex-crazed Australian exploitation films of the '70s and '80s."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
4/5
"Even as a documentary, this is one of the most audacious and energetic films of the year"
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
"... a smartly made look at an otherwise neglected aspect of film history and culture, packed with colorful stories, witty observations, punky attitude and real history..."
