'Filth and Wisdom' - The Evening Standard Review

Madge goes her own way with this scatty story, written largely by herself, about young people dealing with life in London.

The moral of the tale is that you have to go through hard times (filth) before you reach equilibrium (wisdom). But it is punctuated by so much cod philosophising that you wonder whether the film knows what it is talking about at all.

The absence of a decent screenplay doesn't help the energetic actors, and Madonna has far to go before she can breathe the same air as Godard, Pasolini, Fellini and Visconti, whom she insists she admires in a director's statement in which two of the four are mis-spelt.
