FROM VARIETY MAGAZINE:
“[RESIDENTS] all pay tribute to Stanley Bard, also interviewed here, who owned and managed the hotel for years, and whose laidback attitude toward credit and rent collection created a haven for so many financially unstable residents. The impetus to make the docu stems from the fact that Bard, for reasons never fully explained, has lost control of the hotel to property developers who hope to turn it into Gotham’s answer to Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont for the rich elite.
“According to his credits, Ferrara has made only one other docu in three decades of steady filmmaking, the little seen short “Not Guilty: For Keith Richards” (1977), and, based on evidence here, Ferrara is no great shakes as an interviewer. He constantly interrupts, wanders waywardly into a shot at one point, and shows no interest in making life easier for the aud by, say, putting up subtitles that would identify the interviewees, some of whom are hardly well-known faces.
Worse still, the clumsy, HD-shot dramatized scenes — of Sid Vicious’ g.f. Nancy Spungen (played by Bijou Philips) being stabbed and of someone who seems to rep Janice Joplin (Shanyn Leigh) partying — lessen the pic’s impact.LikeLike
