Critic Reviews

• Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com

  Fans of his films will appreciate that Waters offers at least one witty anecdote about each.

• Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

  This may just be a film of one of Waters' university appearances, but it's thoroughly entertaining as he takes a trip through his own filmography, hilariously revealing all kinds of truths about society along the way.

• Martin Hoyle, Financial Times

  Very funny.

• Anthony Quinn, Daily Telegraph

  John Waters delivers a lecture, part-memoir, part-stand-up, on his life in movies, and proves himself an oddly winsome anecdotalist.

• Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

  As well as being a cult movie legend, John Waters turns out to be an excellent stand-up comic and all-around raconteur.

• Ed Potton, Times [UK]

  If you don't know what helicoptering and blossom are, they will be forever etched on your consciousness by the time Waters takes his bow.

• Ben Cobb, Film4

  At 61-years-old, Waters is growing old in disgraceful fashion. Avid fans will know some of the shtick already but nothing can compare to hearing it from the horse's filthy mouth.

• Ann Kelly, BBC

  Waters' genial depravity, ear for a good line and fine comic timing easily engages for the full length despite the lack of flashy tricks, or indeed, any tricks at all.

• Rob Daniel, Sky Movies

  Waters still has the audience-friendly filth to remind you exactly who this is talking, and by the closing credits words such as "bears" and "blossoming" have lost their innocence.

• William Thomas, Empire Magazine

  A fun fim from a fascinating man.
