Leave your thoughts about Yarn.
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshIt’s an inspiring portrait of a truly feminist mode of art. |
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerIt isn’t perfect — it’s a little too airy and artsy in spots — but still, thread and string should be jealous. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeSetting out to show the range of expression found in a field of craft it feels is too often dismissed as a trivial women's pastime, Una Lorenzen's Yarn showcases four artists doing things with crochet your spinster great-aunt probably never imagined. |
| Village VoiceAmy BradyThe film offers fascinating insight into what yarn can do in the talented hands of those determined to elevate mere craft to high art. |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerYarn is a charming if superficial look at the state of crafting around the world, as represented by four very different artists who work in knitting and crochet. |
| GuardianLeslie FelperinA scrappy but endearing documentary about mostly female artists and a traditionally feminine art form. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyIt’s less than the sum of its attractive parts, with scant overall insight or weight. Like an old handmade sweater, this is a movie that might unravel too easily if you gave any single element a hard tug. |
| User ReviewViv CVisually this movie is beautiful. The artists they profile are very interesting. The only reason it's not a 5star for me is the bizarre narration that doesn't have anything to do with the artists' passion and mission. Poetic, but completely unnecessary and distracting. |
| User ReviewBeverley LInteresting to see the knitting and crocheting art forms but disappointed no mention was made of tapestry weaving, one of the greatest art forms using yarn |
