Critical response

The success of the screening allowed the film to achieve positive reviews by several publications from around the world. Rolling Stone compared it to another iconic film stating “…A cult classic in the vein of The Rocky Horror Picture Show”.[31] The Hollywood Reporter went on to add “Peaches Does Herself is an impressively bold statement from its director-star and her team of dancers, choreographers and designers……this ambitious rock-doc pushes plenty of buttons as polymorphously perverse Pop Art spectacle. Peaches shows technical competence as a first-time director, while the taboos she celebrates and subverts onstage make for funny, frank, full-frontal entertainment.”[32] Indiewire also highly praised the release stating “The film is a semi-autobiographical adaptation of (Peaches’) stage show and features 22 of her songs brought to incredible life via innovative, jaw-dropping performances”.[33] Perhaps one of the biggest praises for the film came from TIFF co-director Noah Cowan, as he said "One of the world's most beloved performance artists and a legendary transgressive rock ’n’ roller, Toronto-born Peaches has been an icon of the Berlin art scene for more than a decade. Her constantly evolving practice has created a host of famous and indelible videos, performances, installations, lectures and kick-ass concerts. Peaches Does Herself, her first feature film, brings together all of these elements and more, serving as both a rich retrospective of, and whiplash introduction to, this elemental performer's work.”
