Movie Reviews

ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Donald J. LevitProcesses are illuminated, dedicatory ceremonies shown, honorary degrees conferred, but the carefully un-political woman does not emerge as a personality beyond a wall of concentration.
User Review - 10/10 by Mark SAn exceptional film about an extraordinary woman. Mock engages the viewer like few documentary directors can (though most try). Very emotional and more than a little eye-opening, especially the reaction many people had to Lin's ethnicity (she's an Asian woman who designed the Vietnam Memorial Wall, something several people found unacceptable, which of course is petty and small-minded). Highly recommended.
User Review - 10/10 by Tanaya BSee how a girl grew into a woman in the public's eyes. How she stood firm on the grounds admist all troubles and realised what she sees at first sight. Admirable.
User Review - 8/10 by MEC rFascinating story of the artist who created the Vietnam memorial in Washington, D.C. I had no idea of the controversy surrounding the design selection until seeing this film.
User Review - 8/10 by Frecissimo SI was a little disappointed by the form of [u]Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision[/u], but I'm recommending it based on its content. Back in 1980, a group of veterans lobbied the government to commission the creation of the famous Vietnam War Memorial on the Mall in Washington DC. The winner of the contest to design it was a twenty year old daughter of Chinese immigrants named Maya Lin, who went on to become one of the most prolific architects / sculptors of the decades to follow. At the time, the Memorial was much maligned and opposed by many people, including Pat Buchanan and several vocal Vietnam veterans. But one of the reasons why I wanted to see this film was that for me personally, and for many others, this memorial is the most moving thing you will see in Washington DC. It's simple, elegant, beautiful, and very moving. The story of how the monument came to be in [u]A Strong Clear Vision[/u] is as moving as the monument itself, and worth the price of admission for this film. It's an amazing part of our history and says a lot about us as a country (positive, IMO). The problem I had with it is what comes later, a chronicle of everything Maya Lin has done since that's interesting in terms of her designs, but structured in a methodical and boring way, IMO. Once you get past the Vietnam War Memorial, the rest of the stuff is more or less a chronicle of Ms. Lin's work, which again, is impressive in and of itself, just not presented very well here, if you ask me. I started drifting pretty much after the opening sequence, but again, what a sequence that was. As a side note, the other reason I really wanted to see this film is because it won Best Documentary the year [u]Hoop Dreams[/u] (1994, Steve James) failed to even be nominated. Hoop Dreams is the best documentary I've ever seen, period. As compelling as Ms. Lin's story is, and as glad as I am that this movie about her was made, if you want to see a truly great documentary, see [u]Hoop Dreams[/u]. But if you ever go to Washington DC and see the wall in person, do yourself a favor and also check out this film.
User Review - 8/10 by Timothy FValuable in that it lets us get inside the mind of the artist as much as possible. While she is famous for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, many of her other works are just as remarkable.
User Review - 6/10 by Lawrence AIt's not the most intriguingly made doc, but Maya Lin's work is pretty interesting. Especially the Vietnam Veterens memorial she created at the age of twenty and the initial controversy surrounding it.
User Review - 6/10 by Joel AInteresting story. I'm a little unclear how this won Best Documentary. It wasn't that great. But, the parts where she is actually creating or talking about creating art--versus the reactions against her art--are terrific.
