“This is definitely one of the better films about guns I’ve seen in a while. Czubek’s even hand and wide scope has led to a fascinating conversation starter rather than something to argue over.”

REVIEW: BITCH MAGAZINE
A Girl & a Gun doesn’t force an easy conclusion, but instead lays out evidence for the multiple sexual, political, and personal dynamics at play at the intersec- tion of femininity and firearms. —J. victoriA sAnders
REVIEW: EL PAIS Armas de Mujer
