Helmut Newton: The Bad and the Beautiful's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
While the film is hardly as transgressive as its subject, it manages to be unexpectedly moving, and a nostalgic time capsule of an art-world rebel whose unorthodox methods and decidedly politically incorrect vision couldn?t exist today.
Variety
An engaging and surprisingly playful documentary about the man who was arguably the most transgressive photographer to emerge from the 1960s and ?70s.
The Hollywood Reporter
Never intending to rationalize away the seedier aspects of Newton's work, the film hopes instead to make us recognize the humor and inventiveness lurking there as well ? and to persuade us that an artist's unruly erotic imagination doesn't necessarily tell us much about what he thinks of women.
