      Variety Staff Variety Monotonous and nearly incomprehensible. Nov 27, 2007 Full Review Martin Hoyle Time Out Two attempts at a movie spliced uneasily into one. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Roger Greenspun New York Times At bottom Ciao! Manhattan is cruel exploitation -- though the film is dedicated to Miss Sedgwick's memory, an ultimate indignity. Rated: 0/5 May 21, 2005 Full Review Robert Mazzocco The New York Review of Books Alternately garrulous, sparse, nave, sardonic, clumsy, clever, intolerably sad, rawly funny. Apr 4, 2018 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Not a great movie, but absolutely essential viewing. Rated: 3/5 Nov 30, 2007 Full Review TV Guide The film only seems to exploit her tragedy.

      bill t Odd, maybe TOO odd about a former fashion model who goes home to detoxify her drugged body. Somehow a native Texan wanders in and find out her life story... Or something. It's all very seventies abstract and it's both very fascinating and very boring. Worth it for the curiosity factor if anything. Plus Wesley Blake is easy on the eyes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I was mesmerized by Butch, who was played by Wesley Hayes, but I can find absolutely no information on him from that movie on. He did a tremendous job as the naive but willing youngster brought into all the craziness that was Edie. What happened to him? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw CIAO! MANHATTAN (1972) on TCM last night. Kudos to them for showing films like this--but it's a lousy film with a few good things. This is the experimental film blending a B&W film from the 60's and a color film from '72. The script makes no sense and most of the performances are horrid (they dub an older actor with a weird carton voice). But there's some decent music and the fascinating freak show of seeing Edie Sedgwick, the Warhol Factory Girl, beautiful, fragile, stoned and falling apart. She's interesting, but it feels exploitive to the max to watch her stumbling around with a shirt. 1 star. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This interesting train wreck of a movie captures a time through a different time, each equally fucked up. CIAO! MANHATTAN more than anything, through all of its nonsense, captures the sad and miserable life of Edie Sedgwick who appeared to have it all when she in fact had nothing. She participates in her own exploitation and destruction all for the camera. CIAO! MANHATTAN cannot be deemed a good film, it's so totally inept, but it is an extraordinary work that captures the inner workings of a very sad life that was not destroyed by fame but by family and "friends." Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review s r Pretty bizarre, but it did capture the glamorous aspect of the 60s well.
