Reviews from Letterboxd:
-
Ian West – ★★★☆☆ “Rare Renato Polselli penned giallo totally spirals into more absurdity with each passing minute… complete with prostitutes, plot twists galore, and multiple endings. Low on gore, high on sleaze—a mess but an enjoyable one?”
-
Rich Trash️ – ★★★☆☆ “Uber sleazy Italian horror fest. A man kills his wife after finding her in bed with another man and that is within the first 5 minutes. Things get bonkers in all of the right ways. Obviously, the first choice he makes is to get pay for a prostitute to live with him. I know that is the first thing I would…”

Reviews from Letterboxd:
-
Maldone – ★★★½ “Contrary to the usual sleaze and nastiness of sexploitation films, Dietrich here opts for exuberance and joy. This is about as lighthearted and sunny as a movie can possibly go.”
-
Lou (rhymes with wow!) – ★★★ “As a 70’s European sex comedy, Sechs Schwedinnen im Pensionat doesn’t set itself too much apart from other movies of its ilk. It’s still plenty entertaining though.”
-
Jason Gannon – ★★½ “People ask how I can stand to watch so much classic European cinema, and I just chuckle to myself knowing the pleasure is all mine.”
-
Alphonse Tram – ★ “Dear Miss Klein, On behalf of the board of Governors I have been asked to request you address the perilous financial situation of the school…”
