I don't begrudge Boogie Woogie's attacks on the art scene for its pretension, greed, and self-aggrandizement run rampant; I begrudge the fact that the film is guilty of these very same things.

Devilishly cynical eavesdropper art snob fare peering into the pretentious when not cruel machinations transpiring in the world of creative merchandise commerce.

Goes over the top now and then, but overall it's a lot of nasty fun.
May 09, 2010
The film cannot sustain the giddy, fast pace that sets it off.
April 21, 2010
A tepid spoof that only occasionally evokes a reluctant smile.
April 23, 2010
[The film's characters] are so repellent that almost everyone outside the movie's fetid hothouse will want to flee to fresher air.
April 21, 2010
A travesty no matter how you look at it, this flaccid art-world farce is best approached as a landmark of dubious ensemble work.
April 22, 2010
The cast of superficial backstabbers, casual philanderers, and gibberish-spouting phonies has no original characters, but at least a few of the actors attack their roles with a zest that offsets their two-dimensionality.
February 01, 2011
Duncan Ward's muddled satire about the London art world has a strong cast mugging for all their worth.
April 28, 2010
More of a paper cut, but one that's sufficiently nasty in a minor key, landing a few body blows where it matters the most, while successfully detailing the betrayal and schmoozing it takes to get to the top.
July 06, 2010
Boogie Woogie delivers little more than a lukewarm spoof.
May 16, 2010
Less the free-form, jazzy ensemble satire on the art world it aspires to be than an over-elaborate and under-funny undertaking by high quality actors who should know better.
