Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Much of the documentary is a jumble of people extemporizing about this and that, but there is no connective overview.
Fresh: Picasso and Braque's primary merit is its archive-raiding evocation of the period discussed through vintage nitrate images...
Fresh: A marvelous documentary by art gallery legend and sometime filmmaker Arne Glimcher.
Fresh: As a rambling rumination on turn-of-the-century aestheticism with brazen flourishes of apophenia, the documentary is strangely effective, but we're left aching for more specific piece-by-piece analysis.
