The history of the artistic community in New York City in the late 1970s and early '80s.
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.

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. Go to Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) 08/22/2008
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times 08/22/2008
I start to think there should be a charity called Amnesia International, which compels forgetfulness in former hangers-out with Andy Warhol. Go to Full Review Connie Ogle Miami Herald 03/12/2009

Audiences already interested in the period will enjoy Face Addict best, but Bertoglio makes it surprisingly inclusive and accessible. Go to Full Review The Sun (UK) 08/22/2008

This documentary about the Big Apple's artistic community in the Seventies and Eighties makes the Black Hole Of Calcutta seem more enticing. Go to Full Review Kevin Harley Total Film 08/22/2008
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
