Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter A highly awkward blending of gay porn and political satire. Sep 29, 2004 Full Review Megan Lehmann New York Post The humorless Reich makes for one dull and repetitive skin flick. Rated: 1/4 Sep 24, 2004 Full Review Ned Martel New York Times Revolting and hilarious satire. Rated: 3/5 Sep 23, 2004 Full Review Michael Wilde The Advocate Reich is ultimately humorous and fun, more so if you have been keeping up on your radical leftist reading. Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Chase Burns The Stranger (Seattle, WA) What's missed when people focus so hard on LaBruce's pornography is how funny his dialogue is. Feb 2, 2022 Full Review Jason Gorber Film Scouts It's not good enough to be funny, not sexy enough to be erotic. Rated: D Jun 21, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member La Bruce is first and foremost a dedicated destroyer of cinema, and his chaotic movies are his weapons. If you can handle that, Reich feels just right. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Great neo-nazi, breeder film. My Asian lover adored this film as well as I. Didn't really get what the movie was about or I could award more stars. I feel bad because that's probably due to my low attention span. Oops! ð??? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member It feels more like a fashion statement than a serious political satire. It also feels a lot more like pornography than actual filmmaking, not only because of the too many lengthy sex scenes but also because it shares a lot of many of the flaws of that genre. Still, this over stylised and over indulgent mess actually shows serious potential as an underground masterpiece before LaBruce's eccentricities become tedious and the charge of the film wanes as it progresses. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is so fucked up and in some parts speaks the truth at the same time that I don't even know how to react after watching this film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is hilariously bad! It has cheesy lines and words that flash on the screen in red and are enough to give you seizures! The sex scenes are on the sexy side, but kept too short! But again, at least they are graphic scenes : ) Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This is so much more than just porn. Sure, there's a sex scene at every turn, but no porno I've seen has been as thought provoking, funny, endearing, sensual, or well-cast as Raspberry Reich. I'm sure the use of continual on-screen titles to emphasize the dialogue of the characters and slogans of "the revolution" divides audiences, but I enjoyed it. It gave the film its own unique style and made it audacious. It also lent a gravity and sincerity to the characters' convictions; without this, I don't think the film would have felt as legitimate. This film is perfect for any exploitation lover. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
