Scott R @ScottR Oct 5 NYT 1000 movies list. Pretentious and boring. Really a waste of time. Saw on youtube. See more Feb 26 Senseless, meaningless, boring, pretentious garbage. Warhol is the "Emperor's New Clothes" of filmmaking. See more bill t @Spuzz 11/20/2020 So glad I got to see this again. This movie really isn't about anything, just a collection of a motley of characters hanging around Andy Warhol at the time. Highlights include the incredible musings of Christian Aaron Boulogne, Mary Woronov just snapping at everyone, and the color sequences. So good! See more 05/26/2016 Chelsea Girls is a senseless, painfully boring epic that doubles the tedium by presenting two uninteresting vignettes on screen at once. See more 04/28/2014 It's basically two films shown side by side to achieve a sort of low rent split screen effect. I can see where, if seen in a full house of Warhol fanatics, it can be fascinating. There's the rub though. I can't even conceive of seeing it at home or really even HOW you would see it at home. Theater or nothing is my recommendation. See more 01/17/2013 Perhaps Warhol's most renowned work as a filmmaker, though perhaps it should be more regarded as a work by Paul Morrissey, this film is a drama that is more about style than content, and fully expressive of the Pop Art wave of its times. The film revolves around the occupants of a hotel in Chelsea. The screen is split in two, with intermittent sound, the cinematography is often out of focus, and made up of pointless zooming, whereas the subjects are talking about nothing at all in particular. Yet, there is something attractive in everything; the same appeal of Warhol's other art work, defining (or merely observing) style, fashion and eccentricity. See more Read all reviews
