“Punk filmmaking comes into its own with Scott and Beth B's ambitious, satirical, feature-length melodrama, The Offenders.... Adele Bertei plays Laura Moore, the Bs' androgynous, scrappy heroine who triumphs over the combined forces of parents and police. Escaping from the notorious Lizard and his gang, Laura is torn between reconciliation with her desperate dad...and violent revenge on her captors. The Offenders is a ragged mix of paranoia, rage, and sexual energy turned murderous, combined in the person(s) of a few street-smart kids and rugged, rapidly-aging losers. Not since early Warhol has so much decadence been let loose on so few square blocks!” --Film Forum, New York.
“Aggressively cheap” --Noel Carroll, Soho Weekly News
