That self-indulgent documentary form, the biographical essay film, earns its most onanistic installment ever.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh
The narrowness of [Zahedi's] sexual repertoire is the springboard for a charming and boundless homemade sort of filmmaking.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Rotten
... 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.
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
... while some may bail early, those who stay to the end are likely to dwell on Zahedi's unwavering (some would say unrelenting) belief in his own artistry, as well as the film's many funny, quotable lines ...
