7/10
Fascinating, offbeat.
23 April 2001
This is, to be sure, not the easiest film to categorize: campy at times (with an often inappropriate - but always intentionally so - comic music score), at other times serious and emotionally complex and altogether fascinating and intriguing. Anthony Perkins is wackier than ever as a totally demented preacher, Laughlin (especially) and Turner are also very good in their roles. It's an explicitly sexual and kinky movie, definitely not for everyone, but if you're tired of the same old stuff, this is refreshingly non-mainstream fare. (***)
