Critic Reviews

  • Manohla Dargis, New York Times

    A touching and tender valentine to a lost New York, a city that now exists only as a hallucination.

  • J. Hoberman, Village Voice

    A highly personal movie, Go Go Tales finds Ferrara in a frenzied yet pensive mode.

  • Robert Koehler, Variety

    Ferrara is in a wonderfully loose and comedic mood.

  • Duane Byrge, Hollywood Reporter

    Amazingly dunderheaded.

  • Kam Williams, NewsBlaze

    An alternately earthy and stylized cross of Robert Altman and Federico Fellini where the freaks trump the tramps as the main attraction.
