    • 1977 April 16, Michael Bronski, “'Mother Kuster' — Fine Fassbinder”, in Gay Community News, page 9:
      Rainer Werner Fassbinder's films are simplistic or didactic but never for the sake of railroading us into formang a single opinion, adapting a certain stance. They are Brechtian fables, using simple plots, filled with contradictions and ironies, that force us to reexamine our political and moral ideas.
