February 28, 2008Strung out and naked on the Lower East Side. I think we've all been there.
Before you lose your mind eating up Lil' Joe Dallesandro's juicy fine figure - remember, the guy is like 5' 3". I guess that makes me a hater. -
December 20, 2010Although this one has more of a story than Flesh, Dallesandro plays the same Joe he plays all the time, and sits around naked for most of the movie as usual too. Not bad, but not good either.

July 5, 2010All the women (and the transvestites) want hunky Joe Dellassandro, but he's impotent from shooting too much junk. Nearly plotless, sometimes improvised, it's almost a documentary portrait of NYC losers at the end of the 1960s; no longer shocking and not a great movie by any stre... read more

March 18, 2011a well done chilling look at the reality of the seedy underground life of sex drugs and rock and roll that took so many of us out...not for the weak of mind or charecter

March 12, 2010This is the second film collaboration, of three between Paul Morrissey and Andy Warhol, and certainly it is the most serious and depressing of the three. The acting by Joe Dalassandro is actually good in this one, but the rest of the cast is poor and unprofessional. This one also... read more

June 8, 2008Boring and smutty. Use of nonactors induces Brechtian alienation. The snide social commentary imputed to it does not redeem, but instead underscores, its joyless and unentertaining course.

May 3, 2008Yep, another movie that lives up to its title. I was expecting a John Waters-esque movie and got let down. I can say that it has plenty of full frontal nudity and extreme drug use but the movie is horribly dated and very bland. Maybe if I saw it when it came out I would have b... read more

July 7, 2007Man shoots up and deals with his flaccid penis for 2 hours. It's raw, it's hilarious, it's the darker flip side to "Flesh."

July 3, 2006I've said it before, I'll say it again: Joe Dallesandro is the most gorgeous man who ever lived.
And Holly Woodlawn is hilarious.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It shows when it comes to trash, you can't beat a film produced by Andy Warhol in delivering the real goods. Full Review

Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
Morrissey is skewering a society in which people want something for nothing, and the result is a strikingly odd and important film. Full Review

Eric Henderson, Slant Magazine
Morrissey's films provided a more welcoming stage for bona fide superstar performances than many of Warhol's own movies. Full Review

Jake Euker, F5 (Wichita, KS)
The best of Paul Morrissey's drug-addled blue movies, with a stark naked Joe Dallesandro among the major selling points.

Brandon Judell, PlanetOut
The still shocking film that brought the underground and Little Joe's privates uptown is as hilarious and poignant as ever. Full Review
