Critic Reviews
-
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times
This repetitive documentary from Lisa Kirk Colburn banally strings Gottfried Helnwein's musings together with creative wrangles ...
-
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Thanks, Gottfried, but exploitation does not equal art.
-
Andrew Schenker, Time Out New York
It reduces Helnwein to simply being a determined, intransigent creative type.
-
Jonathan Kiefer, Village Voice
Suffers some dramatic slackness from the inevitable drawing board tedium of performance preparation.
-
David Noh, Film Journal International
A lack of focus and a meandering approach afflict this study of an artist at work.
