The Critics Rave

"Besides fresh and funny insights from the likes of Norman Mailer and John Waters, it shows how little censorship politics have changed from Nixon to Bush."
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

"Two Thumbs Up"
- Roeper & Ebert

   "Things get fresher, funnier and, inevitably, more poignant when we meet the people involved in the making of the movie."
- Ella Taylor, LA Weekly

"Colorfully entertaining."
- Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Daily News

"A giddy prance through the minefield of the last three decades of American sex and politics."
- Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times
 
"It's extremely entertaining."
- David Edelstein, Slate

"Nimble, engrossing, and journalistically eye-opening.  A."
- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

 "The salient point here is that Deep Throat can be seen as one of the first battles of the culture wars that still divide this nation."
- Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

"Makes a diverting case for Deep Throat as more than just a shadowy cinematic footnote."
- Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
 
"A thorough but highly entertaining documentary."
- Lou Lumenick, New York Post
