Full Plot Details

A journey inside the world of a legend of modern art and an icon of feminism. Onscreen, the nonagenarian Louise Bourgeois is magnetic, mercurial and emotionally raw-an uncompromising artist whose life and work are imbued with her ongoing obsession with the mysteries of childhood. Her process is on full display in this intimate documentary, which features the artist in her studio and with her installations, shedding light on her intentions and inspirations. Louise Bourgeois has for six decades been at the forefront of successive new developments, but always on her own powerfully inventive and disquieting terms. In 1982, at the age of 71, she became the first woman to be honored with a major retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art. In the decades since, she has created her most powerful and persuasive work, including her series of massive spider structures that have been installed around the world. Filmed with unparalleled access between 1993 and 2007, Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine is a comprehensive and dramatic documentary of creativity and revelation.

Movie Reviews

Houston Chronicle - 10/10 by Douglas BrittThe film stands alone as a remarkable achievement, as intimate a portrayal of a living artist as one could ask for. And a likeable one at that.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Maria GarciaFor the sophisticated viewer, it is like looking at Bourgeois' work in the company of a good friend.
TV Guide - 9/10 by Ken FoxArt world iconoclast, feminist icon, cranky old Frenchwoman with a sharp tongue and a gothic family history: Artist and sculptor Louise Bourgeois is all these things and more.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Nick PinkertonThe artist's festering recollections of her girlhood mesh with guided first-person tours of her sculptures, creating a privileged look into a psyche rendered solid.
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoRemembrances by aides and relatives plus antique photos and close-ups of her work -- including her iconic giant spiders -- round out the loving film.
Film4 - 8/10 by Catherine BrayMarion Cajori makes a brave attempt to grapple with a subject who resists explanation; while she may not always succeed, the journey is frequently illuminating.
Time Out - 8/10 by Helen SumpterAn investment that has paid off by producing an unexpectedly lyrical and poetic portrait.
Boxoffice Magazine - 7/10 by Matthew NestelOne sonorous waltz through an enchanted domain.
AV Club - 5/10 by Tasha RobinsonLouise Bourgeois is absorbing, largely because of Bourgeois' striking art, prickly personality, and assured intensity.
Guardian - 4/10 by Andrew PulverDespite Bourgeois's on-camera effusiveness, this film suffers a little from curtailing much background information; but fans of Bourgeois as a personality will find a lot to like here.
