Inside Deep Throat Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Bailey and Barbato can only scratch the Boogie Nights-influenced surface, but they cover the ABCs of pornography with undeniable zip.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Ken Tucker
[A] valuable document of a cultural shift.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
The absorption of Deep Throat into the political melodrama that was Watergate seems to have led to some grandiose statements in Messrs. Bailey and Barbato's documentary.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
It just doesn't go deep enough.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
A better film than its subject.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Above all, the film is a lively, music-filled social history.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Deep Throat bore an X certificate. Inside Deep Throat is an NC-17. Neither is suitable for grownups.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Provides a lot of background information and period color, while arguing for the film's place as the breakthrough sex movie of all time.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
The movie will set off a slew of new questions.
Observer
Rex Reed
A fascinating look back both at a time when sex wasn't discussed in polite circles, and at Deep Throat itself.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Offers a diverting tale of erstwhile indie filmmaking and the power of porn to generate change -- both at the box office and in the bedroom.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
While brisk, informative, and entertaining, feels frustratingly sketchy.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It's a good blueprint for people who don't know about the movie and what a huge impact it had. It doesn't do much more than that.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
To me, at least, Inside Deep Throat felt drearily long (it's only about 90 minutes), and anyone who survived the anti-porn crusades of the '80s or the 'sex positive' porn of the '90s will find the arguments on all sides depressingly familiar.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Bailey and Barbetto have mined this all-American circus for all its mindbending absurdity and legitimized it with a who's who of cultural critics.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The free-speech agenda is so entrenched that the concept of pornography exploiting women seems to catch the directors flat-footed.
USA Today
Mike Clark
This trip down memory lane seems to have no agenda and treats principals on both sides of the conflict with respect.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The documentary has no great overriding argument it wants to make -- neither about the politicians-turned-censors who thought the world was coming to an end nor about those who saw Deep Throat as the apotheosis of American liberty.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie uses new and old interviews and newsreel footage to remember a time when porn was brand-new.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A thorough but highly entertaining documentary.
