[A]s depicted in this sprightly, fast-paced documentary directed by Janice Engel, Ivins was a one-of-a-kind commentator who was both smart and savagely funny, using a take-no-prisoners sense of humor to eviscerate those she felt abused the public trust.

Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/4 --
Along with the pleasures of watching Ivins in action, answering fans and critics alike with irreverent aplomb, Engel's movie serves up an affectionate portrait of Ivins' longtime friendship with another strong, salty Texas woman, Ann Richards.

A fleet footed and loving introduction to the work of a gunslinger scribe.

Perhaps what stands out most of all is how disarming Ivins was in spite of her sharp tongue.

Rating: 3/4 --
Janice Engel's film is a rollicking re-acquaintance with Ivins' distinctive drawl, and we can't help but wonder what she'd say about our current ominous political climate. Likely, there would be some swearing involved.

Capital Times (Madison, WI)
One of the more entertaining as well as insightful political commentators of the past half-century is paid a suitably entertaining tribute in RAISE HELL.
Variety
Rating: 2.5/4 --
There's a sense in which Ivins doesn't quite fit in the documentary either - or rather what fits in is great, but what doesn't fit in (emotionally, personally) - gets left out, and that matters a lot.

Product Description:
Outspoken media woman Molly Ivins challenged the status quo in her home state of Texas, relying on her wit and writing skill to expose political corruption. Her staunch defense of the Bill of Rights and bold defense of her minority views garnered her a career that spanned four decades and a notable following. Written and directed by Janice Engel.
