“A grossout smack in the face. Deplorable. Unspeakable. Often funny.”
– Peter Bradshaw / The Guardian

“A bizarre and often strangely funny and affecting exercise in escalating repulsiveness and bad taste”
– Katie Walsh / Los Angeles Times

“If Barton Fink was made by John Waters, this is the sort of movie he’d write”
– Russ Fischer / IndieWire

“Has its own comic coherence: a style sustained throughout that’s best compared to a live-action cartoon.”
– Jonathan Romney / Film Comment

“Fans of midnight movies will see familiar sights in The Greasy Strangler. It has human grotesques, like those in [David Lynch’s] Eraserhead. — With violence that’s as cartoonish as that in the Japanese ghost story House.

But it’s also a contender for the title of Weirdest Movie Ever by tinkering in freshly disorienting ways with gender, language and design. It was shot in Los Angeles, so the locations feel familiar. But the landscape unsettles the eye, as if [John Waters’] Multiple Maniacs had left Baltimore for Pluto. Christina Blackaller’s costume design, for example, is monochromatic and textural, like furniture. The silhouettes are deliberately ill-fitting, and the feminine tailoring — even for the men — lands somewhere between Comme des Garçons and Scooby-Doo.” – Erik Piepenburg / The New York Times
