Face Addict

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Self absorbed piece of Warhol/New York art scene cine-marginalia, which probably should have stayed exactly that, seeing as no-one seems to remember a great deal about the time anyway.

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Metro Newspaper (UK) It's narrated with ear-tearing pretentiousness by snapper Edo Bertoglio, primarily as an attempt to get over his past - he should have concentrated on getting over himself. Rated: 2/5 Aug 22, 2008 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) Contemporary footage of various pseuds, wannabe artists and hangers-on fails to establish what made any of them interesting in the first place, and if you don't revere the cult of Warhol, the entire project looks quite pointless. Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2008 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times I start to think there should be a charity called Amnesia International, which compels forgetfulness in former hangers-out with Andy Warhol. Aug 22, 2008 Full Review Connie Ogle Miami Herald Audiences already interested in the period will enjoy Face Addict best, but Bertoglio makes it surprisingly inclusive and accessible. Rated: 3/4 Mar 12, 2009 Full Review The Sun (UK) This documentary about the Big Apple's artistic community in the Seventies and Eighties makes the Black Hole Of Calcutta seem more enticing. Rated: 2/5 Aug 22, 2008 Full Review Kevin Harley Total Film But some are capable of articulacy and Bertoglio provides the odd ghostly image: primarily, middle-aged fashionista Wendy Whitelaw, who sprays her suburban lawn in regulation Factory chic. The happy ending is welcome, too. Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
