Critics Review
The essays are wildly discursive and funny.
An exuberantly transgressive American filmmaker gets down, dirty, and weird about life, art, and career … Comic and rude but always compulsively readable, Waters demonstrates that he is not only first among Filth Elders; he is also a keen observer of American culture. Wickedly smart and consistently laugh-out-loud funny - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
