"Raw -- an outlaw movie about outlaw artists"- PETER RAINER, NPR
"Yaghoobian proves she has a flair for the telling detail every bit as keen as her subjects".
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
"It may be underground art but the film gives a cultural thumbs up to an art form that deserves more space in the foreground."
Tim Basham, Paste Magazine
"Yaghoobian's documentary is unexpectedly excellent, a bracingly free-form group portrait of people who only recently discovered each other's existence when the founding of GigPosters.com showed isolated artists they weren't just working alone in the dark."
Vadim Rizov, Spout.com
"Died Young, Stayed Pretty made me want to seek out the art on display. Strictly as a documentary, it made me want to watch it again, just to soak it all in."
Peter Martin, Twitchfilms.com
"It's a terrific piece of work"
