A documentary on the mysterious and influential pianist.
Leave your thoughts about Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould.
| OregonianShawn LevyThis is a beautifully made movie that will enchant anyone coming to Gould's world for the first time and probably afford new insights and levels of appreciation to those who already know it. |
| MoviedexAmy KillinA documentary at the forefront of the genre and a real contender come awards time. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsTruly compelling, however, is the material about Gould's innovative studio recordings and radio documentaries. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneClaude PeckThose who believe the private life of the artist is best left in the background may not appreciate all the candid interviews with former friends and lovers. Those seeking a fuller view of Gould's life and music-making will be spellbound. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanGould remains something of a riddle wrapped in an enigma. But it's the questions that hang in the air, and not the biographical details that the film lays out, that make it so hard to take your eyes -- and your ears -- off him. |
| Independent (UK)Anthony QuinnThere are surprises along the way, but the film's purpose is plainly to exalt rather than examine. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranWhat is most involving about Gould is the extraordinary way he played. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittI definitely left the movie feeling I had learned things about Gould I didn't know. But I also thought he had to have been a much more distinctive person than the movie made him seem. |
| Rincón de cineLaura HirosAn immensely rewarding documentary... [Full review in Spanish] |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)I definitely left the movie feeling I had learned things about Gould I didn't know. But I also thought he had to have been a much more distinctive person than the movie made him seem. |
