      Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times On the evidence of "Con Artist," a lively portrait of the enfant terrible in middle age, Mark Kostabi doesn't draw indifferent responses. Rated: 3/5 Mar 31, 2011 Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times Michael Sladek's entertaining documentary portrait of one of the art world's most outrageous provocateurs. Rated: 3/5 Nov 12, 2010 Full Review Nick Schager Village Voice The film gets at the pitiful need and loneliness that drives fame whores. Nevertheless, it remains most compelling when bursting Kostabi's self-important bubble.
