4.0 out of 5 stars Don't Understand Any Better Than Before, October 22, 2001

By 

Thor Vader "Herr Director" (Beverly Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam (DVD)

It is awful difficult to summarize my reaction to this film. On one hand, it was thoroughly entertaining. On the other, I don't feel like I have any better understanding of what went on in the world of Heidi Fleiss.

From the entertaining perspective... step aside Ms. Fleiss. Madam Alex and Ivan fighting absolutely takes the cake. They act like two 5 year olds as the fight back and forth about who screwed whom out of the hollywood hooker business. One has to wonder how Ivan was able to direct a number of television shows and film after watching him in this.

On another entertaining front... the mysterious man "Cookie." Who was he? Is he real? The interview with Porn Star Tina was interesting. She genuinely shut down the second his name was mentioned.

On the other side, Heidi comes off as being very sympathetic. I mean, what girl is given $1,000,000 as a 21st birthday present, and then runs off to become a leading madam? She was very interesting, but not fully explored. I still don't feel like I have any sense of what made her tick.

Overall, I enjoyed the film. I do feel that I wanted to hear more about people that were her clients. I felt I wanted to know more about how the operation worked. Ultimately the documentary sort of digressed to the lowest level by centering on the three-way fight between Madam Alex, Ivan & Heidi. Worth watching... but not too enlightening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heidi Fleiss-Hollywood Madam, May 7, 2000

By 

Greg P. "Greg" (Kentucky) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A straightforward and distinct look into some twisted and singed people. I've never before seen a documentary that so accurately answers the question: But what are they really like? This is especially impressive in the shadow of the fact that the subjects don't always seem to be able to answer this question for themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very engrossing, makes you feel like an insider., August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Nick Broomfield, director, delves as deep as possible to bring to light some of the mysteries of Heidi. He actually spends very little time talking to Heidi, which is somewhat dissapointing. However, Broomfield does make contact with many of her associates as well as her mother. The interviews are all very interesting,the characters seedy enough to really give you the full picture. This movie is a great inside look at the business end of law/escorting relations. The mood is fast-paced and the chance of seeing Heidi keeps you on the edge... END
