MovieLine - “You might say hey, maybe punk rock was never meant to grow up — but it did, so too bad. We’re in uncharted territory,” Bad Religion’s Brett Gurewitz, also the owner of Epitaph Records, says early in Andrea Blaugrund’s documentary The Other F Word. Billing itself as a “coming of middle age story,” this earnest and intermittently lovable look into the lives of prominent punk rockers who’ve gone on to become responsible fathers doesn’t break as much ground as it seems to hope and believe.
indieWIRE writes: "In “The Other F Word,” Andrea Blaugrund Nevins’ ultra-cutesy and insightful documentary about aging punk rock icons mellowing into fatherhood, her subjects talk about the good old days as if they briefly opened a window into an impossibly hedonistic utopia. “You could do any fucked up thing you wanted to do,” sighs one, by which he really means everything he can’t do now. His tone defines the movie."
Digital Hippos writes:
There is no doubt that The Other F Word is an entertaining documentary. While the music is taste-specific, the themes are all inclusive and should prove interesting to all. I felt that the pace began to drag without the benefit of any significant drama but you cannot fault the comprehensive and candid interviews. This film is not an award winner but presents a valuable message through its investigation into punk rockers that lived fast but didn't die young.
