New York PostLinda Stasi

She's scary as hell, which is why this show works.

PopMattersCynthia Fuchs

Waiting to move forward, Fleiss finds distractions that become her unexpected focus.

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd

As seen here, by filmmakers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, she is likable but frustrating--both honest and unreliable, a smart, capable woman only half in charge of her own life.

VarietyPeter Debruge

Fleiss' best-laid plans go bust, leaving the filmmakers scrambling with a repair job that ultimately results in a more intimate, more revealing character study than originally intended.

San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman

You can't help thinking, watching Fleiss go down to inevitable defeat, that she might have stood a better chance if she hadn't allowed documentary cameras to follow her into Pahrump.

As is the case with most train wrecks, it's difficult to take your eyes off of Heidi Fleiss in this well-constructed but somewhat pointless HBO documentary about the notorious one-time Hollywood madam's ill-fated attempt to open a legal brothel aimed at a female clientele in the dusty desert burg of Crystal, Nev.

The main achievement of the film, by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, is to make you realize just how accurate Andy Warhol was: 15 minutes is quite enough for people like Ms. Fleiss.

An intriguing look at what it's like to be a former madam living in the desert of Nevada while on Crystal Meth. Stuff you need to know!

Charles T. gave it a10:
Simply fascinating. Didn't know much about Heidi Fleiss and had no idea what this film was about before watching. Yes she is clearly a slave to meth but it's clear why she was previously able to 'conquered the world,' as she says. If she ever succeeds she'll be the Rocky Balboa of the sex business.
