The Legend of Leigh Bowery Ratings & Reviews
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Boy George seems to be the only person genuinely inspired today to pick up Bowery's fashion torch, but if is that something anybody wants?
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The Legend of Leigh Bowery replaces the man within the queer myth to the extent that when it's over, Bowery seems less a freakish terror than the shrewd art-world transgressive he was.
Film Journal International
David Noh
A mesmerizing, beautifully made documentary.
E! Online
Put on your most frightening wig, and enjoy the show.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
As tributes go, The Legend of Leigh Bowery is a saucy eye-opener.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Without pushing too hard, the film makes a case for Bowery as a significant artistic catalyst blazing a glittery trail at the intersection of fashion, pop music and surrealist performance.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Absorbing documentary.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
You may find the film as outrageous as it is outlandish, and Bowery would have taken that as a compliment.
Boxoffice Magazine
Jordan Reed
An interesting doc, if only because it serves to introduce the work of a gifted, unique artist to those of us who have found little good to say about the 1980s and the excesses they produced.
Village Voice
Ed Halter
Atlas's remarkable moving-picture- book tribute to Bowery.
Mixed Reviews
Gabriel Shanks
More hagiography than critique, smoothing out Bowery's rough edges to paint him as an irrepressibly charming svengali.
