Review of Groupies

Groupies (1970)
4/10
Grotesque
19 March 2011
This film is an un-put-downable train wreck of 1970s excess. Tragic inclusions include a young homosexual teenager, abused, bleeding and out of his gourd, being relentlessly mocked by those around him, a woman who makes it her business to preserve plaster trophies of the male member, and two young girls in a hypersexualized bit of exhibitionism for the benefit of the camera and anyone else who happens to be around.

Up there with the G.G. Allin documentary for the title of 'most disturbing slice of human existence'. It deserves to be seen (in my opinion), because people deserve to know that these types of people were (and are) out there. Great documentaries shed light in dark places. And the attitude of these people toward their lives and each other can certainly be described as dark.
