Leave your thoughts about Drawing Restraint 9.
| Reel.comKim MorganBarney writes in the press kit that the heart of the piece is 'the relationship between self-imposed resistance and creativity.' Okay, fine. But do we care? Not this reviewer. |
| OregonianMarc MohanYou're either on the boat or off the boat with something like this. But for those willing to brave the open water, it's an awe-inspiring ride. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy Heilman[Barney's] pieces are wrought with meaning, and it's best to approach them with the mindset that literally everything on screen is loaded with significance |
| Film4Anton BitelA work as vast, monstrous, and mysteriously graceful as a whale. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohHowever enigmatic this all might be, there is no denying that Barney has assembled some rivetingly beautiful images. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfDrawing Restraint 9 is Barney again creating something tenaciously abstract, but this time the result is more serene and approachable. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...suffers from the loss of experiencing Barney's visual imagination for the first time. |
| L.A. WeeklyHolly WillisIt's difficult to see the characters as anyone but Barney and Björk, and the film's binary system, opposing hard and soft, East and West, male and female, etc., feels clumsy and simplistic. That said, there's creepy delight in seeing American consumption carried to its logical extreme. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisLike John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Double Fantasy, a surreal, vaguely plausible explanation of why two people are crazy about each other. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawDrawing Restraint 9 is a lovely thought, but it's not a surprising one; going out on that proverbial limb, it all might be much ado about nothing. |
