Cool School: How L.A. Learned to Love Modern Art (2008)93%
/
2/4
 
"Wagstaff's character accounts for some of the frustration the film induces. Crumb's documentary style accounts for the rest."

My Kid Could Paint That (2007)93%

3/4
 
"Again and again, Baichwal tapers passages of her film toward resolution in the form of a finished picture by Burtynsky, telescoping her vision and his."

Manufactured Landscapes (2007)84%

3.5/5
 
"Fortunately, historical facts far outweigh psychological speculation in The Rape of Europa."

The Rape of Europa ()n/a

2/4
 
"In telling the story of an unsolved crime, they use every trick available to awaken and prolong suspense before a payoff that never comes."

Stolen (2006)67%

2/4
 
"How much more persuasive Sketches of Frank Gehry might have been had Pollack differentiated degrees of achievement in Gehry's work."

Drawing Restraint 9 (2006)57%
/
3/4
 
"Cumulatively [Johnson's] collages, letters and performances -- and his legend -- compose a self-portrait of striking wryness and complexity."
Posted Apr 9, 2004
 
How to Draw A Bunny (2002)84%
/
 
"Watching and waiting brought some amazing performances before Warhol's camera: Emerson's stoned monologue, Ondine's violent, sourly comic rant on being pope."
