Michael Sragow

This Filthy World does many things, including transform tabloid commentary into comic art. But at its best, it shows that the child is father to the wild man. Read full review

Karen Wilson

Waters's best bits are nostalgic, as he remembers his late friend and frequent collaborator Divine. Part memoir, part lecture, This Filthy World reaffirms what most of us already know from "The Wire": In a town full of delightful misfits, Waters may be Baltimore's sanest citizen. Read full review

Neil Genzlinger

John Waters is darned entertaining as he delivers a monologue that annotates his scandalous movies and encompasses assorted other subjects that interest or annoy him. Read full review

John DeFore

G. Allen Johnson

Some long patches in this show are surprisingly boring and unfunny. Maybe part of the problem is that the rest of the world has caught up with Waters -- nowadays everyone's a provocateur. In-your-face gay-themed material is no longer such a novelty; there are simply fewer boundaries left to transgress. Read full review
