	Media	Author	Review
		Chris Willman Variety	"The Indigo Girls make a far more intriguing subject for a music doc than most who’ve gotten the treatment in recent years, and director Alexandria Bombach doesn’t blow that promise with 'It’s Only Life and That’s All'”
		Katherine Mcnevins Austin Chronicle	"Emily Saliers and Amy Ray convey what they want the audience to experience from their music: self-esteem, a shared experience, and healing, likening it almost to a warm hug... exactly what the film provides (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Dan Callahan The Wrap	"A documentary about the folk-rock duo Indigo Girls that is for fans only. For those who are not fans, it is a rambling, unrevealing look at their lives and careers"
		Jude Dry IndieWire	"Adoring Indigo Girls documentary (...) The iconic lesbian folk rock duo get a fittingly sincere portrait in this sweeping look at their unlikely and enduring success"
		Ross Bonaime Collider	"[It] should be a joy for Indigo Girls fans, and after watching this documentary, it’ll be hard to not call yourself a fan if you aren't already"
		Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"This is a very significant shared career and 'It's Only Life After All' struggles to express why. It assumes you already know (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Robyn Bahr The Hollywood Reporter	"A heartfelt doc (...) that allows Amy Ray and Emily Saliers of the Atlanta alt-folk duo to speak for themselves"
		Elisabeth Vincentelli The New York Times	"Existing fans will be mesmerized, but non-fans like me should also get a kick out of [it]"
		Josh Flanders Chicago Reader	"Emily shares her journey to sobriety, and the duo share many facets of their lives that will delight longtime fans as well as those just discovering their legacy"
