Summary This documentary brilliantly encompasses famed photographer/ filmmaker Bruce Weber's myriad passions and fantasies, his almost Peter Pan-like relationship to those objects of desire the rest of us experience in the glossy magazines or on Houston Street billboards. (Film Forum)

Los Angeles Times

Of the many remarks Weber makes in the course of his beautifully fashioned film, none may be more significant than his observation, "We photograph things we can never be."

By Kevin Thomas FULL REVIEW

Miami Herald

Eclectic, grandly engaging documentary.

By Rene Rodriguez FULL REVIEW

Chicago Tribune

A gentle film, not very controversial despite its gay content, Chop Sue is valuable as a record of beauty and obsession, much less interesting as a human document.

By Michael Wilmington FULL REVIEW

L.A. Weekly

Chop Suey really captivates with surfaces; look away for an instant, and the spell is broken.

By Paul Malcolm FULL REVIEW

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

We leave hungry for more of the film's substantial, if less physically perfect, subjects.

By Paula Nechak FULL REVIEW

Variety

Bids to whip homoerotic iconography into something palatable for those suspicious of the cuisine.

By Eddie Cockrell FULL REVIEW

Village Voice

Time and again words fail Weber. He's a loquacious but unilluminating host.
