With Grand Guignol relish, Ferrara depicts a city in the throes of a Wild West lawlessness that invites vigilante action.

Had Herzog seen it, he might have recognized Ferrara as a fellow genius, and one as weird as himself.
Peter Keough, Boston Globe

[Ferrera] is clearly a talented fellow. One can only hope he finds something else to make movies about very soon.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Fresh
The sexual politics of Ms. 45 are blunt and easy to read, and the picture is riotously cathartic.
Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice
Fresh
By keeping the picture short and busy, Ferrara makes its far-fetched elements play.
