Consensus: The filmmakers' motivations may be suspect, but this inside look at New York art legend Cindy Sherman -- and, by extension, the culture she inhabits -- is undeniably satisfying.
Theatrical Release:Mar 27, 2009 Limited
Synopsis: Cindy Sherman's UNTITLED FILM STILLS, a running cliche of fake celebrity photos, were a hallmark of 1970s and '80s art, propelling Sherman into the top tier of the New York City art world. But what... Cindy Sherman's UNTITLED FILM STILLS, a running cliche of fake celebrity photos, were a hallmark of 1970s and '80s art, propelling Sherman into the top tier of the New York City art world. But what happens when she starts dating the lowly host of a public access show? This documentary explores her relationship with a hapless videographer named Paul H-O (also the fim's director), using archival footage and interviews to craft a winning portrait of unlikely love and male insecurity.

Reviews for Guest of Cindy Sherman
Remove the boldface names and there’s no movie; that center does not hold.
Guest of Cindy Sherman would be fun to watch on public access some late night. But as a big-screen attraction, it never measures up.
At once a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse, bittersweet autobiography and witty trip down art-world memory lane.
It’s amazing that in an era of oversharing and reality TV, a doc consisting mostly of cable TV clips and personal reminiscences can be so resonant.
If it manages not to lose its assets while dipping its toe into murkier issues -- becoming, say, a brow-knitting thumb-sucker -- then it's really a work of art; such is Guest of Cindy Sherman.
