  1. 75
    This wacky former Andy Warhol superstar more than holds your interest in an offbeat documentary.

    This sleek and cleverly assembled film is a brutally honest portrait of an obsessive personality, a woman whose mania for control over her weight and the world around her fed her demons and fueled her art.
  3. 70
    Manages to have its cake and eat it too -- debunking the Berlin image even while reveling in it.
  4. Fascinating but somewhat repellent.
  5. Doesn't probe quite as deeply as it should.
  6. Turns out to be the portrait of a serial yo-yo dieter, an impression enhanced by the 60 year old Berlin, who suggests less a former depraved scenester than a calorie compulsive Martha Stewart grown bored with good taste.
