Now, I believe in fighting for a cause. Abolishing child poverty, I'll be right there in the trenches with you. Banning nuclear arms, I'll stand outside a government building for hours, waving placards. Freedom of speech? Need you ask? But campaigning for the right for women to go topless publicly? THIS is the basis for a feature film? SERIOUSLY?!

Forget about the absolute chaos that would ensue from the thousands of pervs that would actively be pursuing them just for a picture or a quick ogle. And leave aside the concern that no-one wants to be caught between a mass of jigging body parts on the tube en route to work. Let's just focus on the fact they've made a MOTION PICTURE based on this flimsy premise alone... And treat it with the same solemnity as they would if it were about World War II.

So, we get quotes from luminaries varying from Gandhi to Larry Flynt, plenty of philosophising about how America loves violence but yet is remarkably puritanical about nudity, and plenty of girls running round brassiere-free... All in a good cause, of course. This footage will be used to CHANGE THE PLANET, and won't just be jerking material for some sad little virgin in his parent's basement...

I actually thought at first this was going to be a documentary... But when the cast started to try and act, I had a sinking feeling... Which unfortunately, stayed with me till the end. It might be 'Based On A True Story', but this kind of script has been rehashed, redone and recycled to such an extent it may as well form it's own genre.

There's the ragtag band of misfits coming together for a common cause, they start off small but gradually get larger, then comes a minor setback which they navigate with difficulty... Followed by in-fighting, bickering... Which is also resolved eventually with a metaphorical GROUP HUG. Then, just when things are looking up... Then arrives the MAJOR crisis which threatens to end the entire movement. But not to worry... Thanks to the magic of bumper stickers, posters and endless montages, a happy conclusion is inevitable.

The performances are amateurish to say the least, but I'm sure they weren't expecting any Oscars from this project. The attempts at comparing this 'struggle' to great travesties of the past is a LOT more embarrassing than walking around Times Square with your breasts hanging out. The use of the annoying theme song 'Free The Nipple' throughout is repetitive and distracting. Oh, and there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it lesbian kiss between the two main protagonists. I'm not sure why they stuck that in there, since it doesn't lead to anything and is never referenced again. Target audience, anyone?

It's fantastic you believe in something, it really is. Go shout about it from the rooftops. Harangue them on the streets. Spread as much propaganda about it as you want. Just don't bother making a rather pointless, sterile film about the subject. No-one watching it is going to be converted to your way of thinking, one way or the other. Perhaps the money spent making it would have been better put towards trying to establish more nudist beaches. There, you can swing your bits to your hearts content... And not cause pile-ups or waste police time in the process. You know it makes sense. 4/10

I was very excited to see that this movie was a documentary. How could I not be impressed with the social media around the likes of Rumer Willis ' campaign to go topless in New York City, Miley Cyrus ' sponsorship of the film through her partnership with Esco, and the endorsements of numerous other pro-feminist celebrities? This is not a film to my utter disappointment, but rather a dramatization of the start of the revolution. Hey, I felt exactly the way you've got to feel right now.The cause she supports in Esco's defense is worth the buzz surrounding this film. Females should be as free to go topless as men, without penalty, whose bare nipples can be displayed in all 50 states. Instagram and Facebook have completely unfair censorship policies against the naked female nipple, although similar women's sexual images and men's identical ones are all right. Unfortunately, in this disjointed, ridiculous little indie film, all this was not well expressed.Although the movement Free the Nipple is only two years old, the movie presents this story as an epic saga, a story about a group of women battling the patriarchy and eventually taking unfair laws and digital policies down. Nonetheless, their battle is still going on, and in this state, although they have brought awareness to the issue, it hasn't changed much. A young drama will make a TV movie better than the indie market. The characters are bland, there is real breast censorship in several scenes, and then none in other scenes, there is a lot of filler, and the ending is anticlimactic, because with characters like these, whose ending should take care to begin with.I emphasize that even if this movie had a bigger budget, better characters, and a less haphazard way to relay information, this movie would not work yet. It's not a movie, and it's a waste of everyone's time for that simple reason. These films fuel people who oppose or devalue the struggle for equality. Not to say this movie is disappointing, it's just needless and misses the point. Hopefully there will be a serious documentary film from the seedling of this one.

This is a great and inspirational film. I've seen people complain about this film due to poor quality and i think they forget that film makers have budgets. Also their is a complaint that their aren't enough breasts in this film but i don't think they considered the fact that their might be a limit to nudity timings depending on factors like age certificates. Personally i think this is an amazing film. Its inspirational and helps raise awareness for an issue that should be addressed. It has skillfully talked about this issue and showing the strong views and stories of people from free the nipple i love this film. It truly makes you think.
