Audience Member John Waters is one of the most infamous Exploitation directors in the genre. His films are noteworthy for its shock value, and satire. Although I find his work to be hit and miss, I come to admire John Waters in a way. He has the knack to truly repulsed and shock his viewers with intense imagery and subjects. I thought that the film was good and chronicles someone's work that is ignored, and is understandable. I absolutely despised his most famous work, Pink Flamingos and I don't understand its appeal, but in terms of creating something that people will talk about, Waters definitely knows how to make something that people are going to talk about long after they've seen it. Although my opinions on his work vary, John Waters is still a very interesting figure in Exploitation/Trash cinema. Fans of the genre will most likely appreciate this film, and it is a film that should be seen by fans of Waters and Exploitation films in general. The documentary covers his legacy, but also the making of his most infamous work, Pink Flamingos. The film features interviews of several of the cast members that have worked with John Waters on the film and with his family and friends as well. What we get here is a pretty good documentary, but one that doesn't warrant multiple viewings either. This is worth seeing if you're curious as to what his career is all about. Controversial, yet interesting, John Waters is a figure that you simply can't ignore even if you think his work is questionable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A great documentary of the early work of the Pope of Puke himself, John Waters, and how he made one of the most filthiest cult films of all time, Pink Flamingos. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Chronicling the early works of John Waters and leading up to a more detailed look at the behind the scenes making of Pink Flamingos. Revealing of the man with contemporary interviews and clips showing how a simple lad with a pleasure for crashing toy cars became a movie maker with a unique style. It details those who inspired the man and interview those who were available. A good watch for Waters fans and those wondering what all the fuss is about. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent documentary on John Waters. Waters is a certifiably weirdo, but this gives you enough information to see why he is as such. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Makes a very compelling argument for John Waters as one of the most important and visionary directors of the 1970s. Chock full of great interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Very enjoyable Documentary about the early films of John Waters and the star Divine. Nothing extravagent, but highly recommended for fans of Cult/ offbeat films. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
