Movie Reviews

Film Threat - 10/10 by Phil HallOne of the greatest art documentaries ever made. Through an imaginative mixture of rare footage, audio recordings and contemporary interviews with the living legends of modern art, Rosen has created a cinematic portrait which is, in itself, a work of art.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Maria GarciaCan be enjoyed as a quick overview of the contemporary American art scene.
Variety - 9/10 by Ronnie ScheibLively, intelligent collage, both richly complex and immediately accessible.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael WilmingtonShot with a Peter Greenaway-like austere impudence and edited brilliantly (by Jed Parker), this is an entertaining movie, and a moving one--even if, like me, you're not especially fond of these paintings or that scene.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by Regina HackettThis documentary feels stacked on his subject's side.
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoPaints an entertaining picture of the cherubic gentleman, who as the first curator of contemporary art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art brought new excitement to the stodgy institution.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayComes closer than most to seeing the whole picture.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Ed HalterA TV-style compilation of big-name talking heads and occasionally fascinating footage, the film convokes an impressive cast of interviewees—David Hockney, Frank Stella, and Ellsworth Kelly among them--yet seems too dazzled by their luminance to squeeze a substantial analysis of Geldzahler from their pithy testimonials.
TV Guide Magazine - 6/10 by Maitland McDonaghThe film's flippant style ultimately undermines its material - Rosen's decision not to immediately identify interviewees is especially irritating - and, ironically, makes the American art scene of the '60s appear as shallow and trendy as its detractors always claimed it was.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Jack MathewsThe film's appeal is for the eyes. Because Henry got to call it art, it's on display once again.
