Manohla Dargis, New York Times: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "...director Sophie Fiennes embraces the role of tourist rather than of the vigorous, questioning participant that Mr. Kiefer's work solicits and demands." (Read the full review...) 852 words, 08/10/11 Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times: EXCELLENT "...a rare art documentary -- one that places the art front and center, not as an adjunct to its maker's biography.... a film of hypnotic beauty." (Read the full review...) 282 words, 01/06/12 V.A. Musetto, New York Post: VERY GOOD (cg) "...viewers are left to their own devices... a daunting work that will please movie lovers willing to invest their time and intellect." (Read the full review...) 243 words, 08/10/11 Jason Anderson, Toronto Star: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...a mesmerizing study of one of the world's strangest art projects.... Sophie Fiennes provides elegant and eerie views of Anselm Kiefer's staggering creation." (Read the full review...) 124 words, 10/07/11 Melissa Anderson, Village Voice/LA Weekly: GOOD "...equal parts mesmerizing and disorienting... plunges viewers into the earth, wind, and fire of artist Anselm Kiefer's massive-scale projects..." (Read the full review...) 224 words, 08/10/11 Andrew Parker, Toronto Now: WEAK (cg) "...leaves us wishing we could experience the beauty of the former factory at our own pace rather than the director's exhaustive one." (Read the full review...) 181 words, 10/06/11
Stan Hall, Portland Oregonian: POOR (cg) "...immerses the senses but numbs the brain.... The art is pretty fantastic; the movie of it is fantastically dull." (Read the full review...) 157 words, 09/02/11

(Read the full review...) 224 words, 08/10/11 Alison Willmore, AV Club: GOOD (cg) "...refuses to provide any easy context for its subject by way of talking heads or interviews to the camera....

(Read the full review...) 382 words, 08/10/11 Diego Costa, Slant: MODERATE (cg) "...there's an uncanny narcissism involved in needing, literally, an entire building to house each one of one's work....

(Read the full review...) 852 words, 08/10/11 Scott Tobias, NPR: GOOD "Fiennes limits herself to the pronounced distance of an observer. In that role, she's most effective when evoking the mysteries of art over the grinding banalities of process."

Alissa Simon, Daily Variety: VERY GOOD "An art film in the literal sense.... In addition to lovingly filming Anselm Kiefer's oeuvre, Fiennes keenly observes his raw materials and tools to construct her own piece of cinematic art." (Read the full review...) 484 words, 05/17/10 Maggie Lee, Hollywood Reporter: GOOD "...a little film of austere beauty.... For admirers of the artist and the open-minded, the film actually presents the ideal way of appreciating Kiefer's extraordinary work..."
