Movie Reviews

Flavorwire - 10/10 by Jason BaileyThe film seeks to humanize an artist who'd been demonized, but not by ignoring his own demons.
The Arts Desk - 8/10 by Sarah KentThis tried and tested format would be heavy going if it weren't for the raunchy nature of the reminiscences, the measured tones of Mapplethorpe's voice explaining his work and the confrontational beauty of the photographs interspersed with the interviews.
Total Film - 8/10 by Kate StablesInterviewing key figures in his life, they build an anecdote-rich bio.
Independent (UK) - 8/10 by Geoffrey Macnab'He wanted to be a legend,' we are told again and again - and the filmmakers show just how single-mindedly he set about becoming one.
Screen International - 8/10 by Wendy IdeThe input of the eloquent, brilliant, bitchy circle of friends with which he surrounded himself creates a portrait of the man which is every bit as candid as his work.
Times (UK) - 8/10 by Kevin MaherA comprehensive documentary portrait of the controversial photographer Robert Mapplethorpe that is hugely compelling throughout.
Financial Times - 8/10 by Danny LeighAppreciative of its subject's gifts, frank about his flaws. You can also use it as a guide to the 1980s art world and the journey of Manhattan from scuzzy bohemia to real estate gold mine.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by David JenkinsCertainly a higher tier of artist profile doc.
Time Out - 8/10 by Cath ClarkeA candid, often shocking documentary portrait of the great photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Melissa AndersonEach chapter of Mapplethorpe's biography - his Catholic boyhood in Queens, his renowned romances with Patti Smith and the collector Sam Wagstaff, his devotion to and aestheticizing of s/m - is given the same cursory treatment.
