Violet Lucca Film Comment Magazine This is certainly not to suggest that White's work is worthless or unimpressive, but the way it is sold to us is predictable and unclever. Jun 28, 2013 Full Review Austin Chronicle Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 22, 2013 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News "Beauty Is Embarrassing" is an undeniably likable film, mainly because White is a likable guy who believes comedy is at least as important as tragedy. Rated: B Jan 18, 2013 Full Review Molly Templeton Eugene Weekly (OR) An affectionate portrait of one creative man, Beauty [is Embarrassing] may make you wonder how many other artists like [Wayne] White have stories just as deserving of a cinematic telling. Feb 26, 2019 Full Review Kelly Jane Torrance Washington Examiner And so [Wayne] White continues to be his own man, as it's clear from this well-crafted documentary that he always has been. Rated: 3/4 Dec 20, 2018 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh PopMatters Judging from this documentary, his character is as exuberant as his work, and he seems to be one of those lucky people who simply can't stop creating... Rated: 6/10 Jan 25, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I relate to this guy Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member highly inspirational shit Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member White seems like he'd be an interesting guy to hang around for any arbitrary amount of time (anywhere between 1 second to perhaps over 400 minutes, give or take.) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid documentary. If you're in the mood to watch a documentary this would be one of the better choices that you could make. When comedy and art meet. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Inside the artist's brain. Wonderful. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Eclectic doesn't even begin to describe the artist. What a funny guy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
