Brilliant pastiche of American Society’s desire to consume nudity regardless of its sex appeal.
Tristan Moore

A wonderfully sleazy parody of the entertainment industry with a surprisingly feminist viewpoint. 8/10

A nightmarish, nonsensical, and ultimately transcendent trip through a stilted Sin City. It has no right to be so horribly wonderful.

So bad it's good! Paul Verhoeven knew what he created — a total camp, roadshow theatrical release, slapped with a NC-17 rating.

Soft core porn with a message. Seen it so long ago, I can barely remember most of it.

There is no script really, just shows a chapter in this girl's life, but its very well filmed, entertaining without being misogynists.

I couldn't sympathize with Nomi in almost NY part of the movie. It is great if you're a teen with no access to boob pics. Shallow AF.
