Critical Response
Polyester received some good reviews from the mainstream press. Said Janet Maslin of The New York Times:
| “ | Ordinarily, Mr. Waters is not everyone's cup of tea - but Polyester, which opens today at the National and other theaters, is not Mr. Waters' ordinary movie. It's a very funny one, with a hip, stylized humor that extends beyond the usual limitations of his outlook. This time, the comic vision is so controlled and steady that Mr. Waters need not rely so heavily on the grotesque touches that make his other films such perennial favorites on the weekend Midnight Movie circuit. Here's one that can just as well be shown in the daytime. | ” |
The film currently holds 88%, and an 81% Audience rating, on Rotten Tomatoes.
