  • Starring: Caveh Zahedi
  • Summary: Autobiographical filmmaker Caveh Zahedi has made a cult career of his unabashed willingness to be vulnerable on camera. I Am a Sex Addict, a comic reconstruction of his ten-year struggle with sex addiction, is one of his most ambitious, hilarious confessions yet. (IFC Films)

  1. There's no other film like it. It's embarrassingly frank and self-revealing, sometimes funny, sometimes creepy, sometimes both.

    Caveh Zahedi's one-of-a-kind movie--a funny, inventive, ground-shifting hybrid of essay film, mea culpa, and pathological real-life romantic farce--aims for truth by wrecking its own verisimilitude.

    This film is an inevitable product of our age, and enjoyable, right up to whatever your ickiness threshold is.

    Now that even Woody Allen has stopped making "Woody Allen movies," you would think that wannabes would move on, too.
