A pointless, excruciatingly dull three-and-a-half hours spent in the company of Andy Warhol's friends.
Variety Staff, Variety
Overview
Lacking a formal narrative, Warhol's mammoth film follows various residents of the Chelsea Hotel in 1966 New York City. The film was intended to be screened via dual projector set-up.

Warhol has nothing to say and no technique to say it with.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Watching and waiting brought some amazing performances before Warhol's camera: Emerson's stoned monologue, Ondine's violent, sourly comic rant on being pope.
Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
The results are often spellbinding; the juxtaposition of two film images at once gives the spectator an unusual amount of freedom in what to concentrate on and what to make of these variously whacked-out performers.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
