I'm a student of film, I've seen well over 1,000 70s films and many of Waters' films, so I get why this is loved. But let's be honest, moving past the cult features of the movie, it's really awful in just about every way. This may have played well when I was a 20 year old in my college suite, but for anyone else, this movie borders on unwatchable. Of course it's depraved, etc. that's the whole point of all these movies. 40+ years ago it may have been shocking, in 2017 it's just silly.
