““As saucy, warm and uninhibited as its subject, Jyllian Gunther and Stephanie Schwam’s exuberant profile of Byrd.. has a ramshackle charm and a nostalgic heart.”
— Jeannette Catsoulis, NEW YORK TIMES, CRITIC’S PICK

”At a compact 79 minutes, Bang My Box packs in everything you need to know about Robin Byrd.”
— Owen Gleiberman, VARIETY

”The film becomes a modest meditation on aging and legacy.” — John Serba, DECIDER

”This documentary is both playful and purposeful in telling the story of sex-positive entertainer Robin Byrd, a former late-night talk show host who was also an activist for freedom of speech.”
— Carla Hay, CULTURE MIX

”It’s another doc about what happens when a former cultural radical reaches older age, but this one is more compelling than most, largely because Byrd is such a fantastic real-life character.
— THE SS BEN HECHT

”Saw this Robin Byrd doc Bang Your Box and absolutely loved it!”- LADY BUNNY
”

“Filled with archival footage that still shocks in 2026, this charming, funny documentary sees Byrd reflect on her legacy, controversies and enduring community.”
— Jared Richards, THE AGE

”Lively, intoxicating and poignant new feature documentary.”
— James Kleinmann, THE QUEER REVIEW

”Byrd is one of the most enjoyable and lovable documentary participants of the year, and her husband is pretty adorable, too.”
— Christopher Campbell, NONFICS

”Can only be described in one word: fascinating.” — LAVENDER AFTER DARK

” A documentary that trusts its subject and its archive. It lets Byrd be funny, bossy, tender, evasive, commanding, and emotionally available — sometimes all within the same scene...An unexpected tenderness — one of the documentary’s most moving threads.”
— Alexander Kacala, OUT.COM

”A rare documentary that sensitively portrays a sensational subject rather than the other way around.”
— Matthew Rettenmund, BOY CULTURE”
