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.

Candor wins points almost anywhere, and that's what Zahedi has, in spades. Go to Full Review Wesley Morris Boston Globe 05/05/2006
3/4
The narrowness of [Zahedi's] sexual repertoire is the springboard for a charming and boundless homemade sort of filmmaking. Go to Full Review Carina Chocano Los Angeles Times 04/28/2006
2/5
... Zahedi tries to construct a narrative from his epic bad behavior, presumably for the purpose of shedding light on something. What this is remains mysterious after a single viewing, but not so mysterious as to inspire a second. Go to Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault 09/24/2007

The movie nonetheless can't sustain the thin interest of a man's obsession with outlaw fellatio. Go to Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International 03/01/2007
This strange little movie is a mixed bag, hard to eagerly recommend but also hard to completely dismiss. Go to Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com 09/30/2006

02/09/2019 I am a prostitute and I love my vagina See more 08/09/2017 Occasionally funny but more often comes off as merely self-indulgent. See more 05/11/2013 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 :) See more 12/05/2012 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 See more 06/25/2012 a story with such an original intimacy and narration. it is above normal cinema! See more 04/07/2012 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) See more Read all reviews
