Critic Reviews

Yhough Obscene tells the story without fully exploring its nuances, that story is both fascinating and more than a little inspiring.

Engrossing documentary about the life and times of publisher Barney Rosset, who spent much of his career advancing the cause of free expression, is a flawless match of style and subject.

Compelling.

The case for publisher Barney Rosset's place as a hero in post-war America's battle for freedom of expression is persuasively argued in Obscene.

Very fine documentary.

A warm, entertaining compendium of counterculture voices and literary landmarks.

As vital, incisive and entertaining as its subject.
