After a few about his childhood and early influences, he roughly follows the chronology of his career as a film director, relating anecdotes about the making of each film and letting those stories lead him to riffs on other topics.

At the Harry DeJour Playhouse in New York in the mid-2000s, John Waters emerges from a confessional onto a stage littered with trash. He tells stories. After a few about his childhood and early influences, he roughly follows the chronology of his career as a film director, relating anecdotes about the making of each film and letting those stories lead him to riffs on other topics. Gay references and wry observations about people's foibles and limits are constants. Waters' looks, too, are the butt of his jokes.
Leave your thoughts about This Filthy World.
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowThis Filthy World does many things, including transform tabloid commentary into comic art. But at its best, it shows that the child is father to the wild man. |
| Village VoiceKaren WilsonWaters's best bits are nostalgic, as he remembers his late friend and frequent collaborator Divine. Part memoir, part lecture, This Filthy World reaffirms what most of us already know from "The Wire": In a town full of delightful misfits, Waters may be Baltimore's sanest citizen. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickEven though I've heard quite of bit of his show before, I still enjoyed it. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesFans of his films will appreciate that Waters offers at least one witty anecdote about each. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThis may just be a film of one of Waters' university appearances, but it's thoroughly entertaining as he takes a trip through his own filmography, hilariously revealing all kinds of truths about society along the way. |
| Film4Ben CobbAt 61-years-old, Waters is growing old in disgraceful fashion. Avid fans will know some of the shtick already but nothing can compare to hearing it from the horse's filthy mouth. |
| Times (UK)Ed PottonIf you don't know what helicoptering and blossom are, they will be forever etched on your consciousness by the time Waters takes his bow. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawAs well as being a cult movie legend, John Waters turns out to be an excellent stand-up comic and all-around raconteur. |
| Boxoffice MagazineChad GreeneJohns Waters walks into This Filthy World through the door of a confessional -- an altogether fitting entrance for the filmmaker the late William S. Burroughs anointed the 'Pope of Trash.' |
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerJohn Waters is darned entertaining as he delivers a monologue that annotates his scandalous movies and encompasses assorted other subjects that interest or annoy him. |
