“A glorious, spastic mess. Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin’s neo-underground cult comic book Tank Girl comes to life looking, amazingly, exactly like it ought to, positively overflowing with an ever-changing riot of color, gratuitous violence, inter-species shagging, toss-away one-liners, and gobs of little wonky bits that will either knock you upside the funny bone or leave you reeling from out-of-it confusion. … Set in the year 2033, Lori Petty is the titular Riot Grrrl Rebecca Buck, a gooney, obnoxious, and thoroughly lovable young woman who wants nothing more than to scare up some precious water for her mates in this post-apocalyptic, water-free world. … What can you say about a movie that combines Busby Berkeley chorus lines with killer mutant kangaroos and the wildest female action hero this side of La Femme Nikita? What can’t you say?” — Marc Savlov, The Austin Chronicle, March 31, 1995

“Enormous energy went into this movie. I could not, however, care about it for much more than a moment at a time, and after awhile its manic energy wore me down.” — Roger Ebert, March 31, 1995
