3/5
A touching and tender valentine to a lost New York, a city that now exists only as a hallucination. Go to Full Review J. Hoberman Village Voice 01/04/2011
A highly personal movie, Go Go Tales finds Ferrara in a frenzied yet pensive mode. Go to Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out 12/22/2010
2/5
A typically lax late-period Ferrara work, far from the glories of King of New York. Go to Full Review D.M. Palmer Vague Visages 11/09/2023
Abel Ferrara’s films of this period address the destruction of worlds, and the persistence of exiled spirits looking to stake a claim for their personal version. Go to Full Review Neil Bahadur The Film Stage 10/10/2018
If, at this moment, perhaps I'm thinking Go Go Tales may very well be Ferrara's masterpiece, it's because of all of the above - a fight for the uncommodified body. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 11/13/2014

03/25/2013 brilliant Altmanesque look at a New York strip club from Abel Ferrara. Funny, dramatic, sexy, sleazy, wonderful. Willem DeFoe, Bob Hoskins, Matthew Modine, Sylvia Miles and Asia Argento are all great in this. Quirky, colourful eccentric characters and sexy gorgeous strippers :) See more 11/16/2012 Opera corale nera e claustrofobica ambientata nel mondo della lap dance. Stavolta Ferrara non sciocca ma diverte. See more 01/30/2012 Its aura of nostalgia is infrequently beguiling, but it lacks in the ineffable glue of An Altman ensemble piece See more 12/15/2009 asia argento can't dance worth crap. amazing how she dialed this one in. not a great story, and the idea that matthew modine's character wasn't gay was a little hard to believe. See more 04/12/2009 The heart and soul of a gentleman's club, in equal doses of comedy and spiraling chaos. Willem Dafoe at its best. See more 03/30/2009 I never truly loved Ferrara's style, although I watched many of his movies. This one is better than many others, still not so good. I watched it mainly for the many italian actors in it. See more Read all reviews
