| Film ThreatMichael Talbot-HaynesThe documentary is the great American story of the outsiders coming in and rising up. You need to see it. |
| IndieWireSophie Monks KaufmanAlready a robust director, Laura Poitras has leveled up with a towering and devastating work of shocking intelligence and still greater emotional power... This is an overwhelming film. |
| Paste MagazineLuke HicksBloodshed is structured into two intersplicing sections charging forward at a rate of devastation your tear ducts absolutely cannot keep up with. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyThe compassion expressed here, and the rich complexity of everything the movie takes in, make this Poitras’ best film. |
| Original-CinLiam LaceyBoth complex and rawly immediate, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, Laura Poitras’s film about the 69-year-old photographic artist and activist Nan Goldin, is a great documentary and maybe the most essential film of the year. |
| San Francisco ChronicleTony BravoA great visual artist documentary has to be more than a series of images set to narration like an art history course. The best films find some compelling reason in the present to spend time with them. All the Beauty and the Bloodshed filmmaker Laura Poitras’ searing, urgent portrait of photographer Nan Goldin finds that in the opioid crisis. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleIf you’ve ever doubted how art, rage or action can make meaningful change, Goldin’s combination of all three fighting an opioid crisis that nearly killed her is exhilarating proof of the power of “screaming in the streets,” to borrow what the queer artist David Wojnarowicz — one of many close friends of Goldin’s whom the AIDS epidemic took — wryly described as a necessary ritual of the living in a time of too much death. |
| ColliderMaggie BoccellaIt strikes at the core of what makes us human, our hopes and fears and the relationships we invest ourselves in. It is community as art as activism in one giant loop, filtered through the gaze of a woman so unflinchingly tireless in her efforts that you cannot help but be on her side. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThe film is a gem — a supple, unpredictably structured and deeply personal portrait of its primary subject, the photographer, visual artist and activist Nan Goldin. |
| The TelegraphTim RobeyWhatever one’s familiarity with this searing chronicler of lives on the margins, the film is riveting and essential. |
