Consensus: The filmmakers' motivations may be suspect, but this inside look at New York art legend Cindy Sherman -- and, by extension, the culture she inhabits -- is undeniably satisfying.
Runtime: 88 mins
Genre: Education/General Interest
Synopsis: Cindy Sherman's UNTITLED FILM STILLS, a running cliche of fake celebrity photos, were a hallmark of 1970s and '80s art, propelling Sherman into the top tier of the New York City art world. But what... [More]
Reviews for Guest of Cindy Sherman
Paul H-O's hurt feelings over being the overlooked man in a relationship with a famous woman, are surely familiar and not especially provocative.

Instantly recognizable as a guy you might have gone to college with, co-director and documentary subject, Paul H-O's personal experience, as host for a self-produced cable television art program called "Gallery Beat," speaks volumes about New York's eliti

Cindy Sherman has disavowed this documentary, but the film proves to be a very satisfying cinematic collaboration between the art star, her art world insider ex and his huge cache of fascinating footage, and a story-shaping docs director with excellent ed

Remove the boldface names and there’s no movie; that center does not hold.

A moderately compelling and humorous documentary that leaves you wanting more revealing insight into the life and career of Cindy Sherman.

Guest of Cindy Sherman would be fun to watch on public access some late night. But as a big-screen attraction, it never measures up.
03/27/09
At once a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse, bittersweet autobiography and witty trip down art-world memory lane.

Top CriticIt’s amazing that in an era of oversharing and reality TV, a doc consisting mostly of cable TV clips and personal reminiscences can be so resonant.
03/26/09
It’s a documentary about a wannabe celebrity and the internationally famous artist who almost makes his dreams come true. And like Sherman’s subjects, it’s all surface.

The definitive study of the contemporary art world that Eric Bogosian, one of the movie's interviewees, calls "complete bullshit". Also a poignant study of a love story compromised by unequal power and celebrity. Not to be missed!

Paul H-O might have exposed “dealers” who were agents, publicists, protectors -- the real movers and shakers of the culture industry -- but his romantic wounds get in the way.

Absorbing yet lacking.

A highly entertaining evisceration and celebration of the milieu.

An entertainingly quirky little film.
