Movie Reviews

Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Christopher NullCatching a look at what took a gorgeous kid, full of life, into a rare freak show is certainly worth a look.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenNico Icon tells us more than we ever knew about this pop star yet manages to leave the mysterious reflecting pool that will forever be Nico intact.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThe movie has no moral or message, does not attempt to rehabilitate Nico as an anti-heroine, and finds mostly emptiness and sadness in her life. I have a feeling Nico would have enjoyed it.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Dave KehrAs recorded in the great wealth of documentary footage Ofteringer has assembled, the cheekbones slowly collapse and the blue eyes become watery, their owner becoming more and more dependent on hard drugs and fast living.
ReelViews - 6/10 by James BerardinelliThough Nico Icon is replete with fascinating tidbits about the model-turned- singer's opinions and lovers, it does little to bring us understanding of the real person.
San Francisco Examiner - 6/10 by Barbara ShulgasserNico, the beautiful heroin-addicted, one-time model and actress turned pop singer, is a strange subject for a documentary. Director Susanne Ofteringer took the strangeness and ran with it.
Internet Reviews - 5/10 by Steve RhodesThis picture is a mess. It never presents a compelling case of why we should care about Nico.
User Review - 10/10 by Moriah RAwesome Movie Impossible to find but because I am a die hard velvet's fan I had to buy a used VHS copy and will look for a DVD in the future
User Review - 8/10 by Art SSuccessful in creating a mood (of total nihilistic depression) through a portrait of the German fashion model turned Warhol Factory denizen and Velvet Underground singer turned goth junkie gypsy. And how could director Ofteringer not be successful with Nico's spooky droning chanteuse music as her soundtrack. Talking heads vie with 1960s and 1970s footage to tell her story, which makes you wonder whether she became hollowed out by the early objectification she experienced and/or whether it was the drugs that brought her down so low. You get the idea that to come into contact with her would be like feeling the icy fingers of your own death. I'll have to pull out her records now (and remember that art is something to live for).
User Review - 8/10 by Noah RAs strange and beautiful as the woman herself. As a VU fan I enjoyed the Warhol section the best, and the bits that dealt with her son were heartbreaking. We won't be seeing he likes of her again anytime soon. And John Cale's rendition of Frozen Warnings at the end was glorious.
