Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould has not been reviewed by Broad National Press
A.O. Scott, New York Times: VERY GOOD "...scrupulous, candid and eye-opening.... a tour de force of archival research and dogged interviewing, and the portrait it presents is remarkably complete." (Read the full review...) 804 words, 09/10/10 Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: EXCELLENT "...a thoughtful, confident, completely engrossing documentary about a cultural figure every bit as iconic as Jim Morrison or James Dean.... to hear the transcendent music, is to be taken to a place that only the greatest artists have access to. And that is all that really matters." (Read the full review...) 666 words, 09/24/10 Wynne Delacoma, Chicago Sun-Times: OUTSTANDING (cg) "More than 45 years after his final concert, almost 30 years after his death, Glenn Gould's charisma still enthralls." (Read the full review...) 678 words, 09/17/10 Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice/LA Weekly: GOOD "Devotees will perhaps find something new in this deep pool of archival footage, and newcomers will get an appropriate introduction to the beguiling charisma of a most media-savvy isolationist." (Read the full review...) 223 words, 09/08/10 Peter Howell, Toronto Star: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...the most complete portrait yet of this complex artist." (Read the full review...) 243 words, 12/04/09 Liam Lacey, Toronto Globe & Mail: MODERATE (cg) "...a somewhat-padded TV-style biography of the eccentric pianist... feels unworthy of Gould's own formidable intellect to repeat, ad nauseam, that he was a genius and a man of great mystique without probing what those claims mean." (Read the full review...) 744 words, 12/04/09 Glenn Sumi, Toronto Now: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...a balanced portrait of the man, the artist and the persona. There's plenty of complexity... but the filmmakers refrain from psychoanalyzing him." (Read the full review...) 180 words, 12/03/09
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: VERY GOOD (cg) "...it's the questions that hang in the air, and not the biographical details that the film lays out, that make it so hard to take your eyes - and your ears - off him." (Read the full review...) 548 words, 10/15/10 Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...a revelation. Gould's inner life remains, to some extent, a mystery. But his outer life radiates with brilliance." (Read the full review...) 297 words, 11/05/10 Claude Peck, Minneapolis Star-Tribune: VERY GOOD (cg) "Those seeking a fuller view of Gould's life and music-making will be spellbound." (Read the full review...) 222 words, 10/08/10 Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle: VERY GOOD (cg) "...a fascinating story, and well told.... an engrossing and ultimately moving portrait." (Read the full review...) 409 words, 11/19/10 Paul De Barros, Seattle Times: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...though the film is a trifle dull, one does come away with a sense of Gould as a human being, rather than the very odd, abrasive and opinionated outlier who wore gloves and a scarf even in warm weather..." (Read the full review...) 411 words, 10/15/10 Shawn Levy, Portland Oregonian: EXCELLENT (cg) "...a beautifully made movie that will enchant anyone coming to Gould's world for the first time and probably afford new insights and levels of appreciation to those who already know it." (Read the full review...) 258 words, 11/12/10 Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: VERY GOOD (cg) "Gould's friends and colleagues, including several women with whom he had romantic relationships, contribute recollections, and a music school classmate explains the source of the forceful fingering."

(Read the full review...) 223 words, 09/08/10 Eric Henderson, Slant: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...a routine deflation of the life and times of Glenn Gould.... For anyone who would insist the life experiences inform the performer's art, 'Genius Within' doesn't offer much to support Gould's mystique." (Read the full review...) 543 words, 09/06/10 Glenn Sumi, Toronto Now: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...a balanced portrait of the man, the artist and the persona.
