Sixteen years after the release of the ground-breaking film Rivers and Tides - Andy Goldsworthy Working with Time director Thomas Riedelsheimer has returned to work with the artist. Leaning into the Wind - Andy Goldsworthy follows Andy on his exploration of the layers of his world and the impact of the years on himself and his art. As Goldsworthy introduces his own body into the work it becomes at the same time even more fragile and personal and also sterner and tougher, incorporating massive machinery and crews on his bigger projects. Riedelsheimer's exquisite film illuminates Goldsworthy's mind as it reveals his art.

| Hammer to NailChristopher Llewellyn ReedA remarkable artist and man, Andy Goldsworthy, in Leaning into the Wind, is given a remarkable cinematic tribute. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAnother creative documentary adventure with the environmental artist. |

| New York TimesBen KenigsbergHe describes two ways of approaching the world: "You can walk on the path, or you can walk through the hedge." |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThere are moments where you may want to stop the film to assure yourself you're seeing what you're seeing, so disordering to the senses are Goldsworthy's re-orderings of nature. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Leah St. LawrenceI will admit that a documentary about art is a hard-sell. But Goldsworthy's work belongs on film the same way Planet Earth belongs in an IMAX theatre. Everything about it, from the opening credits to the final 10 minutes, is captivating. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlLeaning Into the Wind is a study in seeing, in subordinating one's self to the elements, in creating with nature rather than from it. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenCertain images are hokey, but Leaning Into the Wind has a wandering, lonely purity. We feel as if we've been allowed to fleetingly swim through Goldsworthy's psyche. |
| Eye for FilmAmber Wilkinson[Thomas] Riedelsheimer also has an artist's eye and approach, so this is less a recording of [Andy] Goldsworthy than a dialogue between his work and that of the filmmaker. |
