Unquestionably dated in terms of it's cinematography and plot, Sandy McLeod's organic acting and the naturalness with which she delivers Kathy Acker's strange, surreal dialogue keeps Variety thoroughly enjoyable. Bette Gordon was also friends with Jim Jarmusch, Sara Driver, Lydia Lunch, and Genesis P-Orridge, so for those interested in the history and cinematic production of the no-wave movement in New York during the 80s, this is a solid choice.
