Riotous punk rock icons Lunachicks reunite after 20 years in an unfiltered, hilarious, and electric documentary.
Packed with rare archival footage, the film traces their rise from gritty NYC teens to feminist trailblazers of the 90s grunge era.
Fans and newcomers alike will thrill as the band recounts old antics, rekindles bonds, and embarks on their long-awaited journey back to the stage.
Director Ilya Chaiken: “I wanted to shine a light on an era of women artists of the 1990's. The Lunachicks' story encapsulates the struggles and triumphs of survival, with plenty of hilarity and pathos that will resonate with fans and newcomers alike. It’s been so exciting to see a whole new generation fall in love with the Lunachicks.”
“They were outrageous, diabolical, disgusting, rebellious, and free. They formed a sisterhood and epitomized teenage punk rock girlhood.” - Chelsea Alexandra
(Film Obsessive)
“Their music still as hot as Jan Brady with a flame thrower” – Michael Talbot-Haynes
(Film Threat)
“It’s the combination of storytelling chops, genuine enthusiasm, and subject matter expertise that makes this film exponentially better than your average band documentary.” – Caryn Rose (Salon)
“A fun and furious phenomenon of the ’90s New York punk scene is given its due and another faint glimpse of the spotlight in ‘Pretty Ugly: The Story of the Lunachicks’” - Roger Moore (Rogers Movie Nation)
“In the process it captures the legacy of these unsung super-heroines of the 1990s independent rock world and forces of nature who inspired generations of young women with their music, Spinal Tap-like antics, and uncensored defiance of the sexist status quo.” – Melanie Goodfellow (Deadline)
