Reviews for PREY FOR ROCK & ROLL
"A grungy, emotional look into the world of a struggling all-girl rock band
fronted by the spectacular Gina Gershon."
Rolling Stone
"Gershon's hot-wired performance infuses "Prey for Rock and Roll"
with a bracing charge of authenticity."
NY Times
"The best damn rock and roll movie I've ever seen."
iFilm
"Scintillating!"
Chicago Tribune
"Propelled by a smashing perf from Gina Gershon,
"Prey for Rock and Roll" emerges as an engaging, upbeat saga
of an all-girl band on its way to nowhere in particular.
Helmed by ace music supervisor Alex Steyermark
and written by punk rocker Cheri Lovedog,
pic feels authentic from first frame to last."
Variety
"Steyermark makes an assured directorial debut"
The Hollywood Reporter
"An electrifying, 1000 volt, raw film that pulls you in,
jolts you and doesn't let go."
Outword
"Steyermark gets Gershon.
"Prey for Rock and Roll" isn't a movie for girls
who wanted to sleep with Jagger.
It's for girls who wanted to be Jagger --
the ones who said, "I am the band."
Los Angeles Times
"One tough, smart, kick-ass movie."
Toronto Sun
"Directed with a fearless energy by Steyermark,
the film's heart and soul remains the extraordinary Gershon,
who manages to be funny, touching and sexy throughout.
And she sings too, with power and grace."
Dark Horizons.com
"An exuberant celebration of the music life...
Terrific performances, lots of obviously lived-through-this
insight and terrific, hard-driving songs"
LA Daily News
"Simply Irresistible. Gershon gives one of her most powerful performances."
The Advocate
"PREY FOR ROCK & ROLL rocks hard, and it should with
music supervisor Alex Steyermark (HEDWIG & THE ANGRY INCH,
CROOKLYN, MALCOLM X, THE ICE STORM) as the film’s director.
Steyermark distinguishes his directorial ability in this
masterfully crafted first feature film exploring the Hollywood
music scene from a seldom seen perspective – hers!"
Frameline
"Drea de Matteo is a goddess of cool. Lori Petty breaks your heart"
Film Comment
"You can't take your eyes off of Gershon, who does her own singing,
is fearless, and is mesmerizing throughout"
LA Weekly
"Gritty and vibrant, "Prey for Rock and Roll" truly rocks!"
East Bay Voice
"It has more in common with Thelma and Louise than Rock Star or Almost Famous."
