Croce "Unfocused and uninteresting documentary about the famous hotel for bohemians of all stripes."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Chelsea on the Rocks is very lively, somewhat thrown together in that loose yet aggressively visceral Ferrara style."   Slant Magazine   Jeremiah Kipp 4/5 "It makes sense that, within his own act of remembrance, Ferrara would include a hotel tenant’s home-movie footage of the September 11 attacks. The underlying message, in both cases, is the same: Never forget."   Time Out New York   Keith Uhlich B- "...Ferrara has left a testament to a beloved place whose spirit has been corrupted by commerce."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 5/10 "Nostalgic and fun to talk about but not that much fun to listen to. At some point the dead will simply rest in peace."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 6/10 "A creative community is as fragile an ecosystem as any salt marsh and just as easily destroyed: Chelsea on the Rocks celebrates a hotel which nurtured some of the greatest talents of the twentieth century."   Playback:stl   Sarah Boslaugh  (1 - 9) of 9 OFCS Rating: 78% Fresh Page   1
