Leave your thoughts about Go Go Tales.
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonVery reminiscent of John Cassavetes' The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, but not as focused. |
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsAn alternately earthy and stylized cross of Robert Altman and Federico Fellini where the freaks trump the tramps as the main attraction. |
| The Film StageNeil BahadurIf, at this moment, perhaps I'm thinking Go Go Tales may very well be Ferrara's masterpiece, it's because of all of the above - a fight for the uncommodified body. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezWelcome to the seedy demimonde of the club Paradise, where Ferrara probes the dreams of lives less ordinary, including his own. |
| Boxoffice MagazineRichard MoweWacky and good-humored, Go Go has a seductive visual appeal that Ferrara exploits to the fullest. |
| SpoutBlogKarina LongworthProbably the most lovingly photographed stripper movie of all time. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzFor action there's exotic dancers to ogle. |
| FilmsInReview.comVictoria AlexanderIn Ferrera's strip club, the owner sings a sad love song on stage. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisA lovely drift of a movie, Go Go Tales commands your attention even as it lulls you along. Conspicuously inspired by John Cassavetes's "Killing of a Chinese Bookie," among other touchstones, it is a sincere and inspired meditation on art and creation, but in a loose, funny key. |
| User ReviewMatthew Rbrilliant Altmanesque look at a New York strip club from Abel Ferrara. Funny, dramatic, sexy, sleazy, wonderful. Willem DeFoe, Bob Hoskins, Matthew Modine, Sylvia Miles and Asia Argento are all great in this. Quirky, colourful eccentric characters and sexy gorgeous strippers :) |
