Top CriticIf the film proves anything, it's that people don't shock as easily as they did in Waters' heyday.
12/01/06
It's definitely a great monologue, but a mediocre film.
11/30/06
If your sensibilities can tolerate its more scatological digressions, This Filthy World, filmed over two nights at Manhattan's Harry De Jur Playhouse, can be one of the coziest and most charming means of investing 90-plus minutes of your life.
11/24/06
Mr. Waters, who has been honing this material for years, is as comfortable and effortless as any monologist you're likely to see.
11/23/06
Top CriticTossing off one-liners about drugs and porn to a New York audience, even Waters sounds a little bored.
11/22/06
In a town full of delightful misfits, Waters may be Baltimore's sanest citizen.
11/21/06
This Filthy World, recorded over two nights at New York City's Harry De Jur Playhouse, is revealing, allowing the filmmaker to illuminate the evolution of his illustriously dirty career.
11/18/06
Johns Waters walks into This Filthy World through the door of a confessional -- an altogether fitting entrance for the filmmaker the late William S. Burroughs anointed the 'Pope of Trash.'
11/17/06
Icon of bad taste John Waters plays kindly uncle to tomorrow's delinquents in funny one-man show.
09/13/06
Top Critic...even the filmmaker's detractors will likely walk away satisfied.
09/11/06
Even though I've heard quite of bit of his show before, I still enjoyed it.
