Lively, uncompromising, sometimes hilarious, sometimes surprising, sometimes taboo-pushing, REBEL DYKES takes us into the explosion that happened when punk met feminism, told through the lives of a gang of lesbian, trans, and queer people in the riotous London of the 1980s. The honesty here— sexual, political, and personal—is beyond refreshing, and the perspective of decades has lent only insight and wonder to a period of time that feels both far away and very close. “REBEL DYKES is a fascinating look into an underexplored moment in queer history. It manages to create both an inspiring, energetic, riotous side and a nostalgic, personal perspective. It’s full of women with passion and strong personalities that are hugely enjoyable to watch. The style has a vibrancy to it that encapsulates the era it explores. It holds a great mix of being both informative, emotional and fun.”—Film Carnage
