Leave your thoughts about Drew: The Man Behind the Poster.
| VarietyPeter DebrugeThe director commissioned Struzan to paint the one-sheet for his debut, “Sexina: Popstar P.I.,” and while this sophomore effort is no masterpiece, it’s far more deserving of Struzan’s talent. |
| Village VoiceSimon AbramsDespite its title, Drew: The Man Behind the Poster is not a documentary about movie poster artist Drew Struzan. Instead, Struzan's poster art is the film's real subject. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterAt length, the cheerleading...becomes a mildly taxing torrent. And Mr. Struzan, while an agreeable presence, is not an especially engrossing speaker. But then there is his artwork, an essential aid to the movies — and often their superior. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierA colorful account of the life and art of the recently retired Drew Struzan, whose amazing poster work from the 1970s onward still delights cineastes and casual observers. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeAlthough it offers some insight into his distinctive technique, it could have gone much further. But viewers will appreciate spending time with this cheerful, unassuming man, and will enjoy seeing the artist acknowledged by celebrities who owe him so much |
| AV ClubNick SchagerErik Sharkey’s documentary is far less adventurous than Struzan’s own creations, using a straightforward chronological structure and talking-head format to pay tribute to Struzan’s legendary output. |
| Grolsch Film WorksAnton Bitelthe documentary is also a sly elegy for a changing Hollywood where real hands-on artistry is being replaced by the rush to digital homogeneity. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayThere’s a context to Struzan—not just biographically, but culturally—and while Sharkey seems to understand that, his movie, ironically, doesn’t illustrate it particularly well. |
| User ReviewJuan RIncredible Documentary of an incredible artist who revolutionized how we see how movies are marketed. Every poster told a story and the world of movies owes Mr. Struzan a huge debt of gratitude for everything that he has done. |
| User ReviewAllan NThe documentary as itself is nothing amazing, just a bunch of famous people complimenting an artist. But the artist him self is amazing! The impact Struzan has made for films, is spectacular. But instead of me telling you, watch the likes of Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Frank Darabont and many more, giving their opinion on Struzan's work. |
