Our take
Supercharged with the outrageous zeal of its eternally punk subject, this rollicking documentary basks in the incendiary presence of a true cult icon. More prospective than retrospective, Teaches of Peaches proves that its pathbreaking subject was—and still is—unrepentantly ahead of her time.
