"'Born in Flames' deserves its legendary status and still has the power to challenge, confront, and capture the imagination of its audience."
- Eric Monder, Film Journal International
"Borden's exhilarating collage-like story stages news reports, documentary sequences, and surveillance footage alongside tough action scenes and musical numbers; her violent vision is both ideologically complex and chilling."
- Richard Brody, The New Yorker
"By turns humorous, satirical and deadly earnest...a still-potent artifact of political commitment."
"Borden charts the explosive coming together of the women as they forge their own liberation, handling her story with audacity and making even the driest argument crackle with humor, while the more poignant moments burn with a fierce white heat."
- Frances Dickinson, Time Out
"Beautifully made, courageously edited, and swift-moving, this challenging, provocative film is a work that is both humanist and revolutionary."
- Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
"Funny, gutsy, inspiring!"
