Reception

DVD Talk said of the film, "jaw-droppingly divine, completely original and purposefully obtuse, Let Me Die a Woman has long been the Mount Everest of many a Wishman fan. Who knew finding it and finally climbing it would be so remarkably rewarding."{{cite web |last1=Gibron |first1=Bill |title=Let Me Die a Woman |url=https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/19540/let-me-die-a-woman/ |website=DVD Talk |access-date=17 November 2021}}
