This is a messy, riotous film worthy of Lunch herself, and just like Lunch, it isn’t asking to be liked.

By Kimber Myers FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Jul 1, 2021

Lunch’s entire aesthetic is centered around trauma: how abusers dispense it, how it is — and how she thinks it ought to be — received, and turned back on the world.

By Glenn Kenny FULL REVIEW

Rolling Stone

Jun 30, 2021

The War Is Never Over is as much about trauma and processing and empowerment — the real kind, not the bumper-sticker-slogan kind — as it about music, or a musician, or a cultural moment. What it leaves out of Lydia’s history is substituted by what it adds to understanding her story.
