"Beware of a Holy Whore is essentially Contempt by way of Andy Warhol's Factory." - Ed Gonzalez

After a really difficult trawl through some of Fassbinder%u2019s earliest work, this was a breath of fresh air and gives me hope for going further into his filmography. Effectively a self critique of his profession, it is much more engaging of a drama matched by very good use of limited locations (and his occasional use of very long takes was spot-on choice). I hope for the best as I go on with his films again.

An interesting piece of meta-fiction overall, but it never does anything particularly interesting. This is the sort of film that is exemplary of stuffy arthouse flicks.

Good but a little bit too hung up on its deconstructionist concept, and at the same time a bit lacking in focus. Fassbinder got better than this but it's still very much worth watching.

The very definition of pretentiousness, but its' sheer, gargantuan narcissism is also what makes it strangely watchable.
