Critic Reviews

David Murrow

With no live dialogue, Waters relied on his vast knowledge of music to move this feature along. Snatches of Elvis Presley, R&B, Lou Christie, doo-wop and more carry Mondo Trasho through cinematic moments of nude hitchhikers, foot fetishists and the struggle of always striving to be "truly divi-i-i-ne." [30 Sep 1988, p.66]

Jonathan Rosenbaum

The late 300-pound transvestite Divine, John Waters’s most enduring muse, makes his/her first star entrance in this 1969 feature—the first Waters movie to play outside Baltimore—driving a 1959 Eldorado to the strains of “The Girl Can’t Help It.” Read full review

From the moment the picture wobbles reluctantly on to the screen, this clearly demonstrates that the Baltimore boy was ahead of his time when it came to punk aesthetics and shock for shock's sake. Read full review
