Leave your thoughts about Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts.
| The AustralianEvan WilliamsHicks has made one of the best films I have seen about the mind of a creative artist. |
| Village VoiceVadim RizovGlass is a stupefyingly dull portrait of a man who doesn't seem to be lying when he says, "I have so few secrets." |
| sbs.com.auSimon FosterHicks the fan never gets in the way of Hicks the documentarian - he paints Glass as a musical genius but also as the eccentric, fiery, temperamental artist he can be. |
| At the Movies (Australia)David StrattonThis is an exhaustive and at times exhausting documentary; it's well made and revealing but it required much more editing... |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteAlthough rich in family scrapbooks and anecdotes, Scott Hicks' documentary on composer Philip Glass is a portrait of the artist in the present tense. |
| MovieTime, ABC Radio NationalJason Di RossoA solid portrait that should engage both fans and newbies alike, shot by Hicks himself, cinema verite style. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeAn entertaining pic that will fascinate admirers but is wide-ranging and unpretentious enough to engage those intimidated by Glass' aesthetic. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisMuch like its subject: affable, quotable and emotionally guarded in the extreme. |
| culturevulture.netMichael McDonaghScott Hicks' fascinating new film on Philip Glass ... gives an up-close and very personal view of a man who lives completely inside music. |
| Movie MetropolisChristopher LongHicks avoids many of the pitfalls of artist portraits by grounding the musician firmly in every day reality. |
