Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) 02/01/2011
3/5
Duncan Ward's muddled satire about the London art world has a strong cast mugging for all their worth. Go to Full Review
Leslie Felperin Variety 07/06/2010
Boogie Woogie delivers little more than a lukewarm spoof. Go to Full Review
Stephen Holden New York Times 04/23/2010
2/5
[The film's characters] are so repellent that almost everyone outside the movie's fetid hothouse will want to flee to fresher air. Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 08/22/2023
1.5/4
Sometimes being brash and tasteless is exactly what makes great satire, except the outcome here is too drastic and obvious to be considered any kind of success. Go to Full Review
Derek Smith Tiny Mix Tapes 10/11/2015
1.5/5
I don't begrudge Boogie Woogie's attacks on the art scene for its pretension, greed, and self-aggrandizement run rampant; I begrudge the fact that the film is guilty of these very same things. Go to Full Review
Prairie Miller NewsBlaze 09/02/2010
Devilishly cynical eavesdropper art snob fare peering into the pretentious when not cruel machinations transpiring in the world of creative merchandise commerce. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Dec 4 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, e só as cenas sexuais salvaram o filme. See more 09/30/2020 Bad watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend. There are so many good actors in this movie, and I watched it specifically because it was a movie with Amanda Seyfried about which I hadn't heard. I understand that it had a point (sort of), but it did feel like there was somewhat unnecessary fan service with her and Heather Graham, and they are unfortunate highlights of the movie. This is all about the "art world", which means it's not about art, the quality / value of at all: it's all about capitalism, so it becomes an business / politics movie. It's all about these people we don't know or care about diddling each other and trying to out extort each other. It would be more interesting if it was a nature documentary. Watching rich people shuffle money about for no reason just isn't interesting to me. And if I never hear Danny Huston laugh like that again, then my life will be better. See more 09/30/2018 What is this movie, after seeing it I'm still asking that question. I'm confused and just why. This movie has no point to it. See more 01/11/2018 Eh. It was okay. Not bad, not good. See more 09/02/2016 Loved this. Dark British comedy. Gillian Anderson was amazing. See more 02/08/2015 I was so tired of hearing swear words. I couldn't stand for it!
