Female Trouble

“This may be my very favorite John Waters film. No matter how perverse and weird his themes and characters may be, his films are never ever mean spirited. There's some kind of naked celebration of human nature and its ridiculousness.”

Jim Jarmusch

Director

“This is far and above his best. It's still weirdly timely — it is a saga about punk rock and true crime and evil celebrity, and it has the funniest opening 10 minutes of any film I have ever seen.”

Patton Oswalt

Actor, Comedian, Writer

“I took my mother and my aunt to see this, and at the end of it my aunt — little old black lady — slapped me in the face. I knew at that moment, I knew for sure I wanted to be a director.”

Lee Daniels

Director

“This is the best thing in the world, John Waters forever.”

St. Vincent

Musician

“I'm taking this because I don't know it. I've never seen it and I really want to see it — Female Trouble by John Waters.”

Vicky Krieps

Actor

“This entire — what this represents and who John Waters is and who Divine was and everything about this movie — is one of the only weapons against fascism we have.”

Marc Maron

Actor, Comedian, Host
