Critic Reviews
-
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
A hair's breadth from hagiography, Scott Hicks's Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts is much like its subject: affable, quotable and emotionally guarded in the extreme.
-
Vadim Rizov, Village Voice
A stupefyingly dull portrait of a man who doesn't seem to be lying when he says, "I have so few secrets."
-
Sara Cardace, New York Magazine
As haunting in its own way as one of Glass' own works.
-
John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
An entertaining pic that will fascinate admirers but is wide-ranging and unpretentious enough to engage those intimidated by Glass' aesthetic.
-
Robert Koehler, Variety
Despite efforts to show the composer's domestic life, including his Buddhist-influenced daily exercise routines, there's no thoughtful discussion of what's behind the serialist music style Glass has brought to worldwide attention.
