This is probably not for you, but it is very very much for me. I saw this when I was 19 at the New Beverly and the film was new. I liked it even if I couldn’t totally articulate why. Only now do I understand how much this film spoke to me as I was coming-of-age, grappling…

Still taking it in…what a masterwork. Show me more artists who are willing the place themselves as the villain!!!! Because too many girls are trying to be the hero and it’s not saying anything. Sandra’s really shouting it from the rooftops

Bernhard’s manifesto, indulgence, and self-condemnation, all rolled up into one ingenious spew of pop-culture deconstruction. Seriously, this madness never gets old for me, even as I’m mouthing the words she’s saying.

Just a miserable viewing experience, as much as I liked the non-conformity of Sandra Bernhard’s act, and how interesting she was as a frequent guest of David Letterman’s long ago. There are bits in it that serve as a critique of “normal” American life which probably would…
