Leave your thoughts about Kusama: Infinity.
| National Catholic ReporterSr. Rose Pacatte"Kusama: Infinity" makes me believe that as Dostoevsky once wrote, "Beauty will save the world." |
| Film Journal InternationalLisa Jo SagollaBriskly paced, the film makes for a visually exuberant experience as it cuts quickly among photos and video clips of Kusama’s flashy artwork, commentary from critics, gallery owners and fellow artists (delivered both on-camera and as audio over images of Kusama’s work) and footage of the maverick artist herself. |
| Original CinKaren GordonThe nut of the movie, the thing I return to again and again when thinking about it, is the issue of how much the odds were stacked against Kusama. Kusama-Infinity is a perfect movie for the #metoo era: A glimpse into the life of a woman with a vision who had the misfortune of being born at a time when even what was arguably the most progressive culture felt that it was just fine to ignore a woman’s voice. |
| Film ThreatAlan NgFilmmaker Heather Lenz pieces together a fascinating story of this little-known, yet wildly popular artist. |
| Globe and MailKate TaylorThe film will make highly informative viewing both for those who get it – and for those who don’t. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreWith Kusama, the older she gets, the more interesting her “story” becomes. But what makes that story connect is the art itself — dazzling, overwhelming, mesmerizing and playful. All the obsession and depression, brazenness and brass in the world wouldn’t matter if she hadn’t had the goods, all along. |
| VogueChloe SchamaThe forces behind Kusama: Infinity probably realized they didn't have to strain too hard to make the case for this singular, brilliant artist. She'd already made it for herself. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeKusama: Infinity presents a creative life that is worth exploring, even by those who've been scared away by the crowds. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleMostly, Lenz is committed to showing as much of Kusama’s considerable output as possible, often lovingly panned over with an admiring camera. Think an exhibition program at 24 frames a second. But Kusama – Infinity is also a genuinely felt portrait of the artist as a dedicated survivor, ever in service to her vision of the world and fighting for her place in it. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanDirected by Heather Lenz, the film offers insight and eye candy, despite the fact that it is far more traditional — in style and format — than its subject. |
