| VarietyRonnie Scheib[Director Marion] Cajori's inventive, endlessly fascinating two-hour take draws freely from those prior studies, and from footage featuring Close and his contemporaries. |
| New York TimesMatt Zoller SeitzChuck Close, about the painter, photographer and printmaker by the documentary filmmaker Marion Cajori, truly excels in its depiction of the physical process of making art. |
| User ReviewPamela K"You will be happy again and you can survive almost anything." - Chuck Close: magacian, puppeteer, artist, friend. |
| User ReviewMichael BI have a thing for this documentary. I prefer Chuck Close to just about any painter in the last hundred years. I love Philip Glass. The combination of the two visually and sonically is perfection. This is probably one of my top five favorite documentaries. |
| User ReviewHuw GEvery bit as impressive as Close's process, to which this documentary adds depth and interest - things I've always struggled to find in his painting. |
| User ReviewGerard Bgreat documentary about the generation of artists |
| User ReviewJohn FAn intimate portrait of an art star known for his portraits. |
| User ReviewJessica MI really wasn't familiar with this artist, and I feel like I am now. This documentary did a good job at concentrating mostly on his art and not getting too crazy on the personal side of things. |
