I Am a Sex Addict

What to Know

Critics Consensus

I Am a Sex Addict takes a penetrating look at troublesome compulsions, although its unsurprisingly self-indulgent focus may test the limits of some viewers.

Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Jul 1, 2006 Full Review Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune Candor wins points almost anywhere, and that's what Zahedi has, in spades. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 15, 2006 Full Review Wesley Morris Boston Globe The narrowness of [Zahedi's] sexual repertoire is the springboard for a charming and boundless homemade sort of filmmaking. Rated: 3/4 May 5, 2006 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault The movie nonetheless can't sustain the thin interest of a man's obsession with outlaw fellatio. Rated: C Sep 24, 2007 Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International This strange little movie is a mixed bag, hard to eagerly recommend but also hard to completely dismiss. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com a fun and unique movie that isn't soon forgotten Rated: 4/5 Sep 30, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I am a prostitute and I love my vagina Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/19 Full Review Audience Member Occasionally funny but more often comes off as merely self-indulgent. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member sometimes i was losing track..but it's one fine movie,you gonna enjoy the autobiographical tale,the scenes..and the great dare by the filmmaker to discuss all his fetishes and relationships in front of the camera :) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member It's like something between documentary & mockumentary with a Woody Allen-ish kind of humour, Sometimes annoying sometimes funny sometimes uninteresting , sometimes pretentious & sometimes interesting Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member a story with such an original intimacy and narration. it is above normal cinema! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A very charming biographical comedy/drama that is quite powerful without letting you know so until the final hammer drops. An intensely personal memoir that plays in the Woody Allen school of relational ups and downs. My favorite things was every time Caveh would break in and remind us that this was a film, especially when he would show us the real people the characters were based on. This is great independent cinema in a way that completely reminds me that art can happen in very interesting ways. A great find ( via Netflix streaming) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
