Inserts Ratings & Reviews
The Barb (Atlanta)
Steve Warren
The story takes place in one day and contains some hilarious moments, most of them "dirty."
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Not terrible, but not terribly good either.
New York Magazine/Vulture
John Simon
The entire film is indecisive about how serious and even touching it wants to be under its farcical facade, or whether, in fact, it is just funkily absurd.
Los Angeles Free Press
Ruth Batchelor
Inserts is a worthwhile film and does not deserve to be X'd off your list.
Gannett News Service
Bernard Drew
Director Byrum has not been stern enough with writer Byrum or his cast. Both the comedy and the drama seem forced, overblown and unreal.
La Movie Boeuf
David N. Butterworth
Byrum's X-rated smut fest is abundantly witty, often pointed, and well played by the entire cast (of five).
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
[UPDATED 2025 BLU-RAY REVIEW] Writer-director John Byrum's storyline is alternately fascinating and flaccid (sorry), but the dialogue hums along nicely.

Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus
Bryant Frazer
A self-reflexive text (and dark satire) on the movie industry's depiction of sex on screen in the early years of the MPAA ratings system.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
We don't believe these are people -- but as characters, at least they're a stab at something different.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
John Byrum's sardonic exposition of the artist's dilemma

A new twist on the usual affection for the 20s-30s that cinema-goers were accustomed to
