FILM REVIEWS: |

|
|
|
For Thanatopsis:
|
|
|
"The end result is something solemn, yet also uplifting in a curiously undefinable way. I left the Kitchen that night feeling . . . not buoyant, but definitely freed from the vampire's kiss of moral lethargy. This is an antidote that should be in everyone's medicine cabinet."
|
|
Lous Stathis, REFLEX |
|
|
|
For The Gun Is Loaded:
|
|
|
"ƒ this is a powerful -- if strident -- piece of work, a personal art piece . . . It should be mandatory viewingƒ"
|
|
Micheal Dare, BILLBOARD |
|
|
"Still, if you think Lunch is just your garden variety nihilist, you're wrong. It's a mark of cowardice, in fact, to mistake her disillusion for defeat. The passion of her fury is the best testimony to her lack of cynicism."

Jim Farber, NY DAILY NEWS |

|
For Vortex:
|
|
|
"'Vortex' is still another private-eye spoof, but one that has the good fortune to have as its star an actress named Lydia Lunch."
|
|
Vincent Canby, THE NEW YORK TIMES |
|
|
"ƒ from Russo's Method overacting to Lunch's delicious coarseness. . . a downtown gallery of elegant, provocative images."

|
For The Right Side of My Brain:
|
|
|
". . . the written transcript is Lydia at her story-telling best, a worthy visual successor to her last 'The Uncensored Lydia Lunch' cassette release. . . I loved every disgusting minute."
|
|
Edwind Pouncey, SCANNERS |
|
|
". . . this 30-minute movie does feature some of the wildest poetic rants by one of New York's greatest underground music heroes -- Lydia Lunch. Lydia's description of her character's sado-masochistic desires include some of her wittiest and most frightening word-play to date. And as a screen presence, she can be described only as a head-on collision of Kathleen Turner and Divine. Really."

|
Jim Farber, City Lights |
|
|
|
For Fingered:
|
|
|
"The Berlin Film Festival ended with a bang of sorts. The last film to screen in the Panorama section, 'Fingered', featured underground star Lydia Lunch. . . CAUSES A RUCKUS AT BERLIN PANORAMA FINALE".
