Sandra Bernhard stars in this studio version of her hit off-Broadway show, Without You I'm Nothing. A cult classic of queer cinema and a snapshot from New York City's 90s downtown scene, the film was called "outrageously funny" by Playboy Magazine and Siskel and Ebert gave it "two thumbs up!" Without You I'm Nothing was also listed on Sight and Sound's 100 Hidden Gems: The Greatest Films, which described the movie as...

"The single greatest performance film of all time. Nothing is funnier, stranger, wilder or more charming than what Sandra Bernhard created here with Dada artist/filmmaker John Boskovich. In 1990, Roger Ebert described it as set in “lounge act hell” – the most epic compliment that man could conjure from the no-fun director’s chair he liked to fart in. This fresh hell finds Sandra in nonstop revolving-door glamour, dipping alter ego deep into raw aggression, and mishmashing bitter stand-up with raunchy divatude, heartfelt confessional and a mic-drop sex appeal that defines the word legendary. The final number – a homage to Prince that is worthy of kings – is one of the most iconic endings of any film, ever."
