Leave your thoughts about Shadowman.
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleShadowman is at its unsettling, want-to-look-away best when tiptoeing around the question of what makes for success regarding artists like Hambleton: the hoopla that keeps the work in circulation, or the mysterious inner pilot light that keeps a self-destructive talent going? |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyThis intense documentary shows a driven creator walking the walk, so to speak, in the most perverse fashion possible. The story is both repellent and strangely inspiring. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAchieves its goal of shining a spotlight on its subject while delivering a fascinating true-life tale. |
| Screen InternationalFionnuala HalliganJacoby delivers an adroit portrait of the artist at work in a technical package which wraps itself smoothly around this intense, surprising story. |
| Georgia StraightJanet SmithIt's not easy to watch. But set to the likes of Talking Heads and Blondie, the documentary succeeds as an unglamorized ode to the uncompromising '80s art scene in New York-and one talented man that it consumed. |
| Film ThreatMalik AdánFrom critics to historians to past lovers, we become acquainted with a flagrant artist who was at once in love with himself and the images he feverishly created. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyIt's a harrowing movie (towards its end, it feels like we're just watching him fall apart), but a captivating portrait of the modern art world, and the manner in which it repackages and resells its icons. |
| Slant MagazinePeter GoldbergThis is a gruesome art-world fairy tale unafraid to face the bitter details of its hero's tumultuous life. |
| User Reviewdj lA decent entertaining documentary. 8.2/10 |
