This feature-length documentary film follows the artist as she prepares for what may be the most important moment of her life: a major retrospective of her work at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. To be given a retrospective at one of the world's premiere museums is, for any living artist, the most exhilarating sort of milestone.

Leave your thoughts about Marina Abramović: The Artist Is Present.
| Toronto StarMurray WhyteSo magnetic is she that if Abramovic had chosen to be a baker, or a janitor, you could still make a film about her and it would be only slightly less bombastic, and no less stirring. |
| Time OutJoshua RothkopfRare is the profile that captures so much oddness with so little judgment. You owe yourself a chance to be challenged. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanWe're given an intimate seat to this wildly democratic - and creepily messianic - spectacle. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth Turan"It is extremely difficult to be like a mountain, to create stillness in the middle of hell," is how Abramovic describes her task. The most resonant part of this surprisingly emotional film demonstrates how powerful this interaction is, how it expresses something that is no less moving for being, literally, beyond words. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeThe second half offers shot after shot of the people who sat opposite Abramovi - an unexpectedly enthralling record of reactions that range from stark agony to rather phony amusement. |
| Boston PhoenixPeter KeoughIt demonstrates how cinema can actually make the artist seem present, offering an empathetic fellow consciousness that mirrors one's soul. |
| Film Festival TodayVictoria AlexanderBrilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Yes, Abramovic is a seductress. |
| TrespassGlenn DunksIt's a shame that the people who really need to see Matthew Akers' transfixing debut documentary, Marina Abramović: The Artist is Present, won't go near it. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThis may seem like a stunt, but the experience, with many of the sitters tearing up, or smiling beatifically, is overwhelming to watch. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe documentary seems a little structureless and unfocused at times, as Akers moves from dramatic moment to dramatic moment, not always taking care to connect them. |
