'Nightclubbing' takes you inside the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll that went down at Max's Kansas City in the nascent thrashing of the punk-rock movement with NYC-bred acts such as the Velvet Underground, the New York Dolls and the Ramones.
—Chuck Arnold, New York Post
Very entertaining.

A treasure-trove of archival footage.

An incredible experience.
—Drew Rowsome, My Gay Toronto
Nightclubbing is a solid and necessary addition to the underground music documentary canon. Punk credibility rarely comes so neatly packaged.
—Chris Barsanti, Pop Matters
Illustrated with still photos and archive footage, it is meticulously researched and edited into a continuous seamless narrative. And the music never stops. If you're into the history of early NY punk, Nightclubbing is a must-see.
—Daniel Garber, 'At the Movies' CIUT 89.5
Charting punk's progress as it gobs it's way into the mainstream, the film ticks off such key events as the opening of rival club CBGBs and the dawn of The Sex Pistols.
—James Mottram, Total Film UK
Fragrant as an unwashed subway car. Highly Recommended.
