PRESS

“It just might be the truest film about addiction, of any kind, that has ever been made.”
-Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

“Caveh Zahedi's essay on promiscuity refracts his obsession with prostitutes through a kaleidoscope of comedy, confession, memoir and exorcism.”
-Nathan Lee, New York Times

“Zahedi demonstrates that he's a diary-film maker who can transcend confession — and its lurid cousin, exhibitionism, too.”
-Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

“It's undeniable appeal lies in shocking frankness shackled to irony, a combo that should attract indie lovers with psychoanalytic leanings and droll senses of humor.”
-Deborah Young, Variety

“A funny, inventive, ground-shifting hybrid of essay film, mea culpa, and pathological real-life romantic farce.”
-Jim Ridley, Village Voice

“Cinematic provocateur Caveh Zahedi continues to turn his life into art with I am a Sex Addict, a wickedly clever new autobiographical comedy.”

-Andrew Bujalski, Filmmaker Magazine
