Countless young filmmakers have tried to shape their works in the risky, anarchic early John Water manner, but they’ve failed in acting, conception, tone, script. Director-writer Julien Nitzberg’s debut is the delightful exception. In this "white trash black comedy." It’s the mid-1980s, and Sandra Winthrop has to figure out a way to raise $660 in one night for the funeral of her speed-dealing boyfriend’s mother. Soon, against her will, she’s the star of a Cops-like TV show, when police and camera raid a motel where she is being bad. Variety: "An impressive debut. . . It’s somehow assuring that original, fiercely committed indie satires like this one are still emerging. . . .with inspired casting choices to fashion a redneck mayhem."
