    Has an edgy feel and a knockout soundtrack.

    More a reflection in a fun-house mirror than a portrait of the artist.

    Isn't terribly revealing, and though it is interesting to watch Condo paint, it's only interesting for so long.

    An 87-minute documentary on the life, work and thought of George Condo, a garrulous painter with a mischievous sense of humor and an eccentric, quasi-mystical view of art and the world it inhabits.

    A long portrait of someone who outstays his welcome fairly early on.

    Might have made a tolerable five-minute "mockumentary," but it's apparently meant seriously.
