Leave your thoughts about Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis).
| Original-CinKim HughesSquaring the Circle is a gripping true story told with towering visual panache. |
| Film ThreatMichael Talbot-HaynesSquaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis) is a grand rock and roll buffet with something for everybody. |
| Wall Street JournalKyle SmithThe age when such images held firm positions in the culture may be over, but Mr. Corbijn’s film has given it a glorious and stirring elegy. |
| We Got This CoveredMartin CarrWith Squaring The Circle, Anton Corbijn continues mining the musical past to celebrate his unsung heroes. In this case, he uses the documentary to explore artwork pioneers Hipgnosis, who made history with their innovative approach to album cover design. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawPhotographer and film-maker Anton Corbijn is the very best person to direct this very enjoyable documentary about design outfit Hipgnosis and its dynamic co-founders Aubrey “Po” Powell and Storm Thorgerson. |
| The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeControl director Anton Corbijn’s first documentary, Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis), is a fascinating and suitably maverick snapshot of a richly creative moment in music history, told through a couple of disreputable hippies who designed some of the most iconic album covers of all time. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenRock ’n’ roll mythologizing is one of the subjects of Squaring the Circle and Have You Got It, but it’s not their method. Rather than reaching for a neat or aggrandizing summing-up, they grapple with the passage of time and the perspective it brings. |
| Time OutDavid HughesIt all adds up to a fascinating, amusing and enjoyably illusion-shattering study of the creative process, suggesting that modern art owes as much to opportunity and happenstance as it does to talent. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleDirecting his first documentary feature, Corbijn, a longtime music photographer who made the Joy Division docudrama “Control,” is well suited to this material’s creative highs and human dimensions. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyBefore the heartbreak, there are outlandish and often funny stories about iconic album covers. |
