Movie Info

Kris Carr is a filmmaker who was known to her friends for her daring, adventurous and upbeat personality. In February 2003, Carr began feeling ill, and thinking she may have injured herself during yoga class, she went to see a doctor. On Valentine's Day, she got the unexpected word that she was suffering from a rare and virulent form of liver cancer, for which there were few treatments and no known cure. Rather than give in to illness and depression, Carr decided to make a film about her journey through treatment, determined to use her art to help keep her focused and sane through this profound challenge. Carr's documentary Crazy Sexy Cancer is her visual record of her struggle to regain her health and how she found a new life along the way as she faces a battery of treatments and therapies with irreverent humor and take-no-prisoners attitude. Crazy Sexy Cancer was screened in competition at the 2007 South by Southwest Film Festival.

Audience Reviews for Crazy Sexy Cancer

May 17, 2014

After being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, actress and model Kris Carr embraces holistic healing and nutrition to combat her illness. Inspiring, emotional, and at times delightful, Crazy Sexy Cancer is a documentary about depressing subjects without wallowing in the maudlin. Carr is a vibrant, lovely human being, and her story is not rare but her attitude and lively story-telling are. She achieves a balance that is remarkable for a first-time documentarian, and her film is both searingly honest and fun to watch. Overall, I echo Carr's, "Fuck cancer."
