Leave your thoughts about Art History.
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsAnother intriguing examination of the human condition courtesy of iconoclastic Mr. Swanberg! |
| IndiewireEric KohnArt History is essentially Swanberg's version of "Zach and Miri Make a Porno," and, within the larger context of his career, just as inconsequential. |
| Slant MagazineJesse CataldoThe staging of this dissociative roundelay is still presented in a forcefully lo-fi format, prizing roughly framed shots, improvisation, and flat characters, but there are ever clearer indications that Swanberg is producing something more than empty-headed slacker cinema. |
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeSwanberg has discovered lighting and mood-to occasionally stunning effect. Perhaps in some future memo from the front lines of indie-sploitation, he will unite them with story and more than a superficial nod to character. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerSomebody must think Joe Swanberg's mumblecore mush is worth the time it takes to watch it, because he keeps making it. But anyone who sees his insufferable Art History and doesn't wish for the 74 minutes back has an empty life indeed. |
| User ReviewMatthew SJosephine Decker and Kent Osborne are the actors. Joe Swanberg is the director. At least this is the film's set-up. This second of Swanberg's Full Moon Trilogy signaled a key shift in his filmmaking. His "no style" approach clearly forms into his own cinematic language. Nothing feels immature. You might think the line between reality and film-within-a-film is clear -- but there is a constant lingering level of "anti-suspense" that you are not able to identify the difference. An often uneasy study of an artist grappling with his art that he may or may not want to bend into his own reality. There is brilliance here. |
