Yes, breasts are a beautiful, natural, baby-nourishing thing, and they've been bizarrely shamed and oversexualized in American culture-but writer-director Lina Esco's amateurish debut is not the film to set them free. Go to Full Review
Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 12/26/2014
"Free the Nipple" is a bright, scrappy satire inspired by a real-life movement to nationally legalize a woman's right to go topless in public - just like a man can. Go to Full Review

Free the Nipple is more of a confusing and frustrating experience than an inspiring one... Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 12/31/2014
As an attempt to promote grassroots advocacy, this low-budget drama feels shallow and takes itself too seriously. But it works just fine as an excuse to see plenty of topless women. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International 12/12/2014
Free the Nipple is ... a silly little bit of fluff and, worse, a painfully amateurish piece of filmmaking. Go to Full Review

Paul E @PassoutTomatoes 05/12/2021 It was enjoyable to watch a movie about women building a cause and friendships along the way. The underlying message is one I can get behind, but it doesn't quite deliver the depth that I was hoping for. See more 07/22/2016 Complete feminist garbage See more 02/14/2016 Yikes. I'm pretty much in support of most of the ideas this movie vomits at you, but ideas can only get you so far when you have incompetent filmmakers. I know that might seem kind of harsh considering the director/star is a first-timer behind the camera (which the movie, seemingly apologetically, tells you at the end knowing full well it's a shit show), but top to bottom from the directing and editing and screenwriting, it just doesn't work. And like several people I've read talking about the film have mentioned, I thought the movie was a documentary heading in. It should've been. The women behind the movement deserve better. See more 09/04/2015 A thought provoking and inspiring message presented in a package that is enjoyable to watch and easy to understand. See more 08/04/2015 Thinking that this film was a documentary I was very excited to see it. How could I not be with the social media flurry around the likes of Rumer Willis' campaign to go topless around New York City, Miley Cyrus' support of the film thanks to her association with Esco, and countless other pro-feminist celebrities' endorsements? To my total disappointment this is not a documentary, and instead a dramatization of the movement's inception. Yeah, I felt the exact same way you must feel right now.
