Reviews for One Bad Cat: The Reverend Albert Wagner Story
Directed by Thomas G. Miller, One Bad Cat brings fresh light to the artist Albert Wagner.
Confessions like "God and art saved the Reverend Albert" beg for more interrogation than director Thomas G. Miller seems to have in him.
Miller neither defends or apologizes: His remarkably candid footage (extending all the way to Wagner's deathbed and beyond) and interviews leave the man's sincerity (and his collectors') as open to scrutiny as his art.
A compelling bio-pic about one bad mother (shut your mouth!) who could have written a Bible for today's ghetto gangstas on how to be a player.
The film finds its footing whenever Johnny Coleman, professor of African-American Studies and Fine Arts at Oberlin College in Ohio, speaks openly about Wagner's troublesome images and the appeal those images have for whites.
