Pink Flamingos | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Eric Henderson Slant Magazine Of course, every battle in their filth war is quite obviously filtered through John Waters’s legendarily up-is-down, wrong-is-right sense of humor. Jun 21, 2022 Full Review Pink Flamingos | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Twenty-five years after Pink Flamingos was first unleashed, the film has lost none of its danger, its wit, its psychotic exuberance. Rated: A Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Pink Flamingos | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Variety Staff Variety One of the most vile, stupid and repulsive films ever made. Jun 30, 2008 Full Review Pink Flamingos | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Dave Giannini InSession Film Pink Flamingos is rare. A challenging, but still entertaining watch, no matter how much you try to deny it. Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Pink Flamingos | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Brian Susbielles InSession Film Everything – and I mean everything – was depicted with no filter and no trickery, completely raw. Feb 22, 2023 Full Review Pink Flamingos | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene The myriad horrors that Pink Flamingos offers are a catalog of atrocities played for triumph.

Milosz W Disgusting, loved it. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Joshua H The tone of the movie was a bit scattered, but pink flamingos' utter bizarre nature will make a decent pastime for those who enjoy a bit of dark humor Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review Mu S Tudo nele é ruim, mas não de propósito, ele não se importa se está sendo uma porcaria completa, ele se importa se está sendo chocante, e consegue fazer isso muito bem, além das diversas cenas icônicas. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/23 Full Review PridePosterStudios Still in therapy after finishing this movie several years ago Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review CodyZamboni Movie is campy, trashy, amateurish, stupid, and poorly shot in 16mm. It has shockingly graphic scenes, some of which are downright offensive. Poor acting grates in a lot of unnecessarily long boring scenes. For its' time, the movie probably set a record for the most cussing. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Eric L Great film about the filthiest person in the world. Get yourself some poppers and have some fun watching pure trash cinema! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
