- 60Village VoiceDiana ClarkeVillage VoiceDiana ClarkeIt's too rare for movies to depict women working together as friends to effect political change, and this one makes it seem righteous, loud, and fun as a rock concert. Free the Nipple won't change the conversation, but it might help start one.
- 60Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinDirector and star Lina Esco keeps this compact film moving with enjoyable buoyancy until it bids adieu with a showy climax that needs a serious postscript.
- 50The DissolveKate ErblandThe DissolveKate ErblandThe plucky DIY spirit that pervades small-scale organizations might work when it comes to launching movements in real-time—and Free The Nipple ideals have already bled over into the non-cinematic world—but it makes for a slapdash and slippery movie experience that never comes together.

- 30The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe logistics of raising money and securing permits for the cause are not the most compelling or irreverent subject. The movie’s goal is straightforward advocacy.
- 25Slant MagazineDiego SemereneSlant MagazineDiego SemereneThis is kind of didactic topical movie that distributes its rhetoric evenly between characters with clear distinction as to who's playing devil's advocate to the other one's points.

- 20The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckFeaturing endless scenes of multitudes of women baring their breasts in public in various areas of New York City, Free the Nipple is an unfortunately tone-deaf and poorly executed drama that doesn't exactly help its cause championed by the celebrity likes of Miley Cyrus and Lena Dunham.
