Critic Reviews

Eric Campos

Playing like a video coffee table book displaying some of the man’s most notorious work. Read full review

Scott Foundas

Offers a fast, efficient and richly satisfying look at an iconoclastic artist and his groundbreaking work. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

The movie is overwhelmingly positive. It would have helped if Araki's critics had more of a say. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Viewers are left to draw their own conclusions, which inevitably will be colored by individual reactions to unabashed frontal nudity. Read full review

Manohla Dargis

More of a sketch than a fully developed portrait. Read full review

Edward Crouse

David Sterritt

Illuminating, if not exactly edifying. Read full review
