How does artist Matthew Barney use 45,000 pounds of petroleum jelly, a factory whaling vessel and traditional Japanese rituals to create his latest art project? Barney plowed the waters off the coast of Nagasaki to film his massive endeavor, Drawing Restraint 9. The documentary Matthew Barney: No Restraint journeys to Japan with Barney and his collaborator Bjork, as the visual artist creates a "narrative sculpture" telling a fantastical love story of two characters that transform from land mammals into whales.
Leave your thoughts about Matthew Barney: No Restraint.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerRegina HackettMaybe because I happen to be reading "Moby Dick" and was therefore more open to the wider world of whale metaphor, I found Chernick's view of Barney and his working entourage riveting. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAlison Chernick's film skims the surface of a strange and celebrated career. After a meager 72 minutes, the man who once stretched an obsession with testicles into a five-film cycle remains as unknowable as ever. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxChernick may not answer every question about this beguiling and enigmatic film, but you wouldn't want it to: Mystery is an essential part of the Barney experience. |
| Movie HabitMarty MapesAn essential companion piece for anyone who feels like they didn't get |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonIn her restraint, Chernick makes us admire an artist with none. |

| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWhile not as balanced or fully satisfying as it should be, Matthew Barney: No Restraint will fit naturally as a pairing for future theatrical and DVD exposures of Barney's controversial works. |
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeChernick's film traces the creation of Barney's "narrative sculpture" with open curiosity and an alert, amiable eye. |
| Chicago TribuneAlan G. ArtnerBarney's art presents a cross between the creepiness of David Cronenberg and David Lynch and the grandiosity and business sense of George Lucas. Chernick's film unquestioningly admires it. |
