Con Artist Ratings & Reviews
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
At the film's heart lies the paradox: how can a con artist be conning people if he is freely admitting that is what he is doing?
Shared Darkness
Brent Simon
Lays bare Kostabi's popularized thinking regarding branding and self-promotion, the impact of which can be glimpsed in the ways people these days jockey to make 'ex-reality show participant' a full-time occupation.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
On the evidence of "Con Artist," a lively portrait of the enfant terrible in middle age, Mark Kostabi doesn't draw indifferent responses.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
An entertaining, occasionally poignant look at America's obsession with celebrity through the career of one eccentric individual
Boxoffice Magazine
John P. McCarthy
[Director Michael Sladek] lets Kostabi hang himself and the auto-execution is fully effected about halfway through.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Michael Sladek's entertaining documentary portrait of one of the art world's most outrageous provocateurs.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
The film gets at the pitiful need and loneliness that drives fame whores. Nevertheless, it remains most compelling when bursting Kostabi's self-important bubble.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
While we may have learned to properly code our insecurities in the fabric of everyday life, Kastabi is, ironically, in the business of unabashed honesty.
