Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict Ratings & Reviews
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
By the end, the film's own title provides the key to its shortcomings.
Detroit News
Tom Long
There's an essential sweetness to "Art Addict," despite its ribald tales and rich settings. Peggy Guggenheim simply loved art.
Newcity
Ray Pride
A brisk, neatly constructed look behind the life of the late heiress who became one of the twentieth century's most proficient wheelers and dealers at the top end of the art market, collecting art, but also artists along the way.
Salt Lake City Weekly
Scott Renshaw
A colorful character can carry a documentary a long way, but when that colorful character exists primarily in the past tense, it isn't carried quite so far.
Willamette Week
Enid Spitz
Even the most casual art users could easily be hooked by the story of this enfant terrible.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Richly informative and fascinating ...
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
As this film's engrossing character study makes clear, this woman of extraordinary tastes and appetites was ahead of her time, in more ways than one.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
She gave her life to the art, but she kept her love for herself. And as the title implies, neither may have been a choice.
Boston Herald
James Verniere
She called the Guggenheim, "My uncle's garage." She was the link between two art continents.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
This ambitious film touches on so many lives and controversies that it gradually becomes a minihistory of 20th-century art.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
If the documentary isn't especially deep, maybe that's because its subject wasn't.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
Guggenheim is such a fascinating figure that few will snipe at a character analysis that rarely gets below the surface.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A doc by Lisa Immordino Vreeland so stuffed with connections and allusions to fabled eras it's hard to imagine any modern art lover being bored.
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addictis a portrait of a woman who just hung in there and did her thing... though it doesn't shy away from her less positive tendencies.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Her wit comes through, often entwined with a biting sadness.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A vibrant and enlightening survey of the life and work of one of the world's most renowned art collectors
Film Journal International
David Noh
A must-see doc for any art lover.
New York Times
Daniel M. Gold
Ms. Vreeland has paced her documentary well, a chapter to each era, with hundreds of beautiful images spanning decades of artists, galleries, parties, scenes.
TheWrap
Inkoo Kang
At the doc's centerpiece is a newly discovered set of audio interviews. ... Those tapes reveal a wealth of biographical detail that never adds up to a full portrait. ... "Art Addict" may be encyclopedic, but it's all-too-rarely insightful.
Village Voice
Marsha McCreadie
The overall picture is of her essential vulnerability, with the most insightful probes coming from actress Mercedes Ruehl, who played her onstage, and from Guggenheim herself.
