Movie Reviews

Cinemacy - 10/10 by Morgan RojasIn this compelling portrait, filmmakers Richard Dewey and Timothy Marrinan delve deep into the artist's past for a glimpse into the eclectic and eccentric life of Chris Burden.
Georgia Straight - 8/10 by Janet SmithYou'll walk out with a whole new respect for one of contemporary art's true s--- disturbers.
Paste Magazine - 8/10 by Tim GriersonThere's clear admiration for the artist in Burden, but it's not a hagiography.
HeyUGuys - 8/10 by Linda MarricThe film manages to strike a good balance between hero-worship and honest criticism without ever sounding disingenuous.
Guardian - 8/10 by Peter BradshawIt is a little reticent about his private life - but a persuasive, stimulating work.
London Evening Standard - 8/10 by Charlotte O'SullivanThe Seventies footage is electrifying. But what makes this documentary special is that it doesn't put its subject on a pedestal.
Moveable Fest - 7/10 by Stephen SaitoEven those who might not understand the enigmatic figure at first will be fascinated, but for those who appreciated his daring, a deeply rewarding portrait awaits.
NOW Toronto - 6/10 by Radheyan SimonpillaiThe filmmakers keep things simple and straightforward, focusing on Burden's work and leaving it to you to see his relevance and influence today, from Jackass stunts to the nauseating "social experiments" by YouTubers like Coby Persin.
Total Film - 6/10 by Josh Winning[An] engaging if straightforward doc, which catches up with Burden before his death in 2015 to uncover why he went to such extreme lengths in the name of art.
Radio Times - 6/10 by David ParkinsonThe archive footage is fascinating, as are Burden's reticent insights into art posing questions without necessarily having a purpose.
