Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Informative but Generally Goofy
Review: Although the film is really informative and offers a great anectdote about Warhol's supposed asexuality, the film has a cheesy PBS documentary feel to it. It's high art approach to Warhol's life and art seem opposed to his own intentions in his work. There's still some amazingly funny moments, all unintentional.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally a new DVD on Warhol
Review: I was excited to see a new DVD was to be released about Andy Warhol a month ago. I bought this right away when it was finally released only to find out it is a documentary that was created in Canada that was broadcast on US television about 8 months ago. I had taped this when it aired so I was a bit disappointed to learn they are one in the same although it's nice to have it on DVD instead of tape. This is a great DVD and covers some new angles and material not found in 'Portrait of an Artist' or 'Superstar'. It's interesting to see some new interviews with members of the Warhola family. To see how they have aged since 'Portrait of an Artist' just proves it's about time something new was released. I highly recommend this DVD if you did not already watch it on television or if you are an avid fan of Andy like myself. Well worth the price of admission alone:-) Enjoy!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting but disappointing
Review: This production has all the flavor of a bland, picky, British critic, which is the voice you'll strain to decipher as you watch it. It was interesting, mainly because Warhol was an entertaining and outrageous character, but when it was over, I felt like it missed the significant essence of the man. My major criticism is that the film spent more time on his kinky lifestyle than on his true legacy -- his art. I would have preferred a film that focused more on his artistic contribution, and less on whether he was bisexual and lived with his mother all his life. So when it was over, I wished I had selected one of the other Warhol DVDs.

Rating: 5 stars
