Entertainment Reviews:
SHOOT ME simply follows Stritch around New York, from job to job, getting a sense of the rhythms of her life at this stage in her career, and the film is at its most fascinating in these scenes.
A.V. Club
3.5 stars out of 4 -- This dazzling diva of stage, screen and cabaret gets the dynamite documentary she deserves...
Rolling Stone
3.5 stars out of 4 -- Stritch is a documentary subject as fearless and raw as her stage persona.

What you also see -- and this is what makes the film such a treat --is a legendary entertainer redefining, at the age of 86, the word 'irrepressible.'
Wall Street Journal
Rating: 3/4 --
Elaine Stritch's strength, along with the film's, comes from her honesty. She is herself, even when - maybe especially when - she knows she's being watched.

Washington Post
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Chiemi Karasawa deserves all the credit in the world for the intimate and hilarious portrait that is Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me, a sparkling cocktail of music and memoir. On the other hand, she didn't exactly have to drag her subject out of her shell.

Rating: 3/5 --
As we see Stritch carry on, still performing into her eighties, battling the physical and mental ravages of time, it's obvious she was no sissy.
