Movie Reviews

Boston Globe - 9/10 by Janice PageScenes in circular frame effectively convey a fresh daughter's-eye view of her father's nonlinear universe; skillful editing keeps the whole package in balance.
Reeling Reviews - 8/10 by Laura CliffordLucia Small's documentary works on a myriad of levels.
Reeling Reviews - 6/10 by Robin Clifford"My Father, The Genius" is both a documentary about a self-proclaimed genius and his work and a long-needed family catharsis.
User Review - 6/10 by Edith NNot much of either. to say nothing of his design work. but worth watching for black and white footage of him (an original hippy founder of Sci-Arc) as moderator of a panel, viciously insulting Frank Gehry (who is sporting a huge black pompadou, old-world mustache and polyester suit) during his introduction of him. it apparently ended his career in some ways.
User Review - 6/10 by Lene .Handi-cam doc about a rebellious architect offers a welcome antidote to "Sketches of Frank Gehry". An engaging study of a pathologically selfish father and discouraged utopist.
User Review - 4/10 by Andrejs PPretty uninspired look at an eccentric architect that abandoned his family. Wish they would of showed more about his buildings, which were pretty cool.
