(1 - 22) of 22 OFCS Rating: 91% Fresh Page   1   B "An engrossing journey into a bizarre moment in American culture."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 3.5/5 "moves like a bullet, running through its subjects with punch-drunk glee and stitching it all together with a pounding K-Tel Super Hits of the Seventies soundtrack"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti "Dr. Ruth notes the glaring problem at the film's center, noting, "Sex is not only for penises.""   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/5 "Clunky and forgettable as a documentary, Inside Deep Throat succeeds entirely thanks to its subject matter"   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius B- "Its aim is to entertain and to recount a chapter in pop-culture history. It does this reasonably well, though its winking, tongue-in-cheek attitude wears thin after a while."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "A polemic on America, and its incapability to be accepting of sexuality by demonizing and stigmatizing the act..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. B "A documentary which, though hardly perfect, is a lot better than the movie it's about."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "Although the film starts out with a clear thesis, by the time its 90 minute running length has expired, it is grasping at themes and topics that are beyond the limited scope of what a superficial documentary can achieve."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "a showy, entertaining, and informative documentary"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "Smart, high-minded documentary about stupid, low-minded filmmaking has delusions of gravity, but still satisfies."   Netflix   James Rocchi "Any one of the filmmaker’s focuses could easily have filled out a feature; by trying to cram them all in, they ensure that a thorough examination of any is impossible."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox 6/10 "...with its 1970s-style groovy graphics and tittering adolescent's view of sexuality, [it] has a willfully disreputable tone, but it provides surprising insight."   All Movie Guide   Josh Ralske 4/5 "Fenton and Barbato also place Deep Throat firmly in the context of a turbulent time, when making a sex movie was an act of rebellion (however Quixotic), rather than a mercenary grab for the goodies."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh B- "The documentary works best when exploring how Deep Throat came to be and what led it to become a financial success and cultural lightning rod."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 2.5/4 "The filmmakers’ attempts to link Deep Throat’s lasting impact to every sexually charged facet of contemporary American life reaches too far."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2.5/5 "Well-crafted and, in places, highly informative, but with the exception of some of the original film’s hardcore sex scenes and the aforementioned Mob angle, there's little we haven't been exposed to before (no pun intended)."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 4/5 "Bailey and Barbato assemble their material with a sharp eye for detail and bracingly hilarious wit."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B+ "...if you are an adventurous filmgoer and can stand the challenge of the controversy, you’ll get an eye opener."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 4/5 "A grown-up and eminently entertaining reflection of where we were in 1972 - and how one little porno flick caused such an astonishing uproar."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg B- "Bailey and Barbato draw a convincing line between the social and political atmosphere of the film and the culture wars of today. The issues are still very much alive."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 8/10 "Informative and wickedly entertaining. If you're into "hot button" freedom-of-expression issues, this is a must see!"   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 7/10 Read review   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel  (1 - 22) of 22 OFCS Rating: 91% Fresh Page   1
