Review of Female Trouble (1976) by Blackity B — 21 Apr 2010
Ignore the 6/10 rating I've given Female Trouble. There's really no way to rate this like normal movies - it's just too batshit crazy. Female Trouble is a total piece of trash, but it's so outrageous and over-the-top that it's entertaining and even kind of genius in its own depraved way.
Divine gives one of the most bizarre, gleefully disturbing performances I've ever seen, and the movie surrounding her is every bit as wacky. I died laughing at moments, and at other times just felt kind of numb and nauseous due to all the depravity so proudly on display.
Some parts of Female Trouble are just too unwatchably gag-worthy, but it was worthwhile as just some fascinating, occasionally hysterical oddity. John Waters is a complete madman. If Pink Flamingos is even more disgusting and weird than this, I'm not sure I'll be able to handle it.
