Andy Warhol's Trash

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Diving into the lives of societal outcasts with an intent to shock, this export from the Warhol Factory will reek of trash for some but is a treasure for audiences who have a taste for outré fare.

The most out-in-the-open, the most outrageous, and the best Warhol film yet. Go to Full Review
Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune 09/21/2022
3/4
The Warhol-Morrissey world is a strange one, but in many, ways, especially if taken in infrequent doses, a far more real world than the formula Hollywood drama or comedy. The actors are solidly in touch with their madness and can improvise with wit. Go to Full Review
Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times 09/21/2022
It was evident in Flesh that Morrissey was both a more compassionate and more formal filmmaker than Warhol... And now in Trash, he actually has somebody convincingly playing someone other than himself. Go to Full Review

It's bilge but fascinating bilge and thanks to Miss Woodlawn sometimes very funny, very delightful bilge. Go to Full Review
Charlie Davis Berkeley Barb 09/21/2022
Trash is Warhol's most entertaining movie to date. It's funny and sad all the way through. It has a kind of Huckleberry Finn mood to it. Go to Full Review
Bernard Drew Gannett News Service 09/21/2022
It is the sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic, always powerful study of the garbage some of the beautiful flower children became in their search for truth, love and Darma amid the rubble of the East Village. Go to Full Review

Joshua S Mar 28 Manky muffins and scottish sausage rolls See more 02/06/2016 Trash is really, just trash. It's a dark depiction of New York in the late 60s and it's cultural scenes. See more 08/19/2015 Cataclysmic sh*t! Absolute drugs, sex & rock 'n roll film minus the rock 'n roll really. I loved it. I love trannies! See more 04/28/2014 The first of the trilogy. If Warhol works for you then you'll be all in. I was. See more 01/09/2014 Though, most film buffs consider Morrissey's HEAT to be the better his trilogy, it is this film that works best for me. While off-the-wall camp funny, there is a certain highly effective level of desperation in Holly Woodlawn's performance that stays with you. While the "X-rated" infamy of this Cult Classic lingers, this is an oddly moralistic viewpoint coming across at all times. The fringes of late 1960's NYC counter-culture is explored with a sort of perverse judgement. Think John Waters with a societal commentary agenda. This is not satire and despite theatrical turns, TRASH is one potent film about the desperate life of junkies near the dawn of a very different decade. A must see. See more 03/31/2013 Still disturbing, still silly after all these years. See more Read all reviews
