Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times: MODERATE "...alternately illuminating and dull, energetic and repetitive.

Tim Grierson, LA Weekly: GOOD "...deftly segues between artist David Choe's personal and professional adventures, weaving together his family background, steadily ascending career, sexual addictions, criminal behavior, mental illness... a complex and open-ended portrait."(See all of Tim Grierson's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 257 words, 04/29/10

John Anderson, Daily Variety: VERY GOOD "Harry Kim manages to capture the essence of his vulgar, obstreperous and wildly talented subject... The film is about as indulgent as artist David Choe is, rampaging around the globe and its subject's mind and defying common convention..."(See all of John Anderson's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 396 words, 06/27/08
