Movie Info
Directors Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato follow up Party Monster by returning to the documentary form of their most popular film The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Rather than examining evangelists-cum-gay icons, this time the duo takes aim at the cultural phenomenon that is and was Deep Throat, the hardcore porn film that cost 25,000 dollars to make and grossed over 600-million-dollars world-wide, making it the most successful independent film of all time. The impact of the film on the public's

[A] valuable document of a cultural shift.
Top CriticFascinating social criticism and a witty and relevant take on American sexual history.
The absorption of Deep Throat into the political melodrama that was Watergate seems to have led to some grandiose statements in Messrs. Bailey and Barbato's documentary.
It just doesn't go deep enough.
Bailey and Barbato aren't as interested in the picture itself as they are in the people who made it, a collection of hustlers, crackpots, cranks and stooges colorful enough to inspire Elmore Leonard.
A better film than its subject.
Three days after President Nixon brought a halt to military operations in Vietnam, another offensive maneuver was just beginning in Minneapolis.
This keen look at the most successful independent film ever made describes how the film's distribution and profits were taken over by the mob, and how its director and actors were affected be the social and political powers that sought to use it as a tool
A polemic on America, and its incapability to be accepting of sexuality by demonizing and stigmatizing the act...

Move over, Alfred Kinsey. Apparently the unusually avid sex researcher's knack for shaking up the gatekeepers of traditional moral values, may have been a mere dress rehearsal for Deep Throat a few decades later.

As an exercise in nostalgia...Inside Deep Throat is amusing
Funny and saddening.
A sharp documentary that has comedy, tragedy and, yes, a glimpse of Linda Lovelace's party trick.
Well-crafted and, in places, highly informative, but with the exception of some of the original film's hardcore sex scenes and the aforementioned Mob angle, there's little we haven't been exposed to before (no pun intended).
Financed by the mafia, always there when you need them most.
There is a nice selection of extras on the disc %u2013 showing how easy it is to come up with documentary material when the subject is itself a documentary.
At once amusingly entertaining and yet searingly revealing, Inside Deep Throat is documentary gold
A transformative, engrossing overview of both a 'dirty,' singular phenomenon and an entire era.
