'Chop Suey' strives to be avant-garde and trendy. For many, it will be.

It's an eclectic film, held together only by Weber's ironic voice-over narration and the endless shots of the beautiful Johnson.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 25, 2002
Sometimes maddeningly meandering, often intriguing.

It's as amusing, varied and instantly forgettable as an issue of Vanity Fair or Vogue, minus the fragrance samples.
| Original Score: B | Apr 4, 2002
For a film by a photographer, it's awfully unfocused.

The most personal and accomplished of the several documentaries Weber has made over the years.

Weber's talent works best when he's focusing on an object, not when he's giving us a wayward, free-associating travelogue of his visceral imagination.

Though undoubtedly a vanity project -- the music clearances alone must have cost much more than the film could ever hope to gross -- it functions pleasantly enough as an exercise in free association.

Time and again ... words fail Weber. He's a loquacious but unilluminating host.

Bruce Weber's filmic journey becomes a series of libidinal ups and humbling downs.
