M. C. Escher: Journey to Infinity Ratings & Reviews
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
Demonstrating that Escher deserves much greater appreciation, both from within the art world and in the wider mathematical community.
It's Just Movies
Ron Wilkinson
A mellow journey of logical ponderings made amazing by the subject's illogical pretzel art.

Rachel Wagner
Lutz isn't very concerned with Escher's life. It's concerned with his work and if it counts as art or not
Mark Leeper's Reviews
Mark R. Leeper
The film covers Escher's entire career, from early "realistic" works through his branching out into more mathematical and surreal art, always in woodcuts, lithographs, or drawings rather than paintings.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
It's a horribly hammy performance that has the effect of making it seem someone thought M.C. Escher required humorous condescension in order to be palatable...not a huge Escher fan, but this inexplicable choice actually left me offended on his behalf...
L.A. Weekly
Shana Nys Dambrot
At heart, this quirky, inventive hybrid of documentary and monologue is dedicated to the exploration of what we don't know about one of the best-known artists in the world.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
A rare feature that takes the trouble not just to understand its subject and communicate his significance, but find ways to actually show us, visually, how his style evolved, and the principles behind that evolution.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"M.C Escher: Journey to Infinity" tells us just enough of what we want to know about M.C. Escher's life, but it's essentially a presentation of his art; it's like an art book that comes to life.

Kenneth R. Morefield
How can an artist be simultaneously so loved, so admired, and so recognized while also garnering so little of a reputation?
Less Hat, Moorhead
M.V. Moorhead
This narration, spoken with Cleese-worthy buoyancy and a touch of comic pomposity by Stephen Fry, is one of the movie's best assets; it's the perfect seasoning to the feast of Escher's images.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... effectively breaks down the artistic process while using animation to illuminate the precise nature of Escher's mind-bending, transfixing work for devotees and newcomers alike.
Newport This Week (RI)
Loren King
A revelation for fans of Escher and newbies, alike.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
Journey to Infinity prompts us to contemplate: our world is not binary, it is infinite. And so perhaps, are we.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
It's a welcome trip for those fascinated by his iconic, mind-bending depictions of illusions, evolutions and eternal cycles.
Asheville Movies
Edwin Arnaudin
One of the best documentaries thus far in terms of exploring an artist's creative process.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Whether anyone else, including Escher, would have done a more engaging job is debatable, but this movie, directed by Robin Lutz, offers an only intermittently satisfying look at his interests and methods.
Film Threat
Bradley Gibson
It's hard to imagine not falling under its mesmerizing spell with the same wonder that one would gaze on an Escher print and feel their mind slowly becoming part of the pattern depicted.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
This is a marvelous pleasure of a film that leaves you wanting more and more and more, to infinity and beyond.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
A crucial biographical document even if it's an imperfect film. Lutz has composed a university lecture in its own right: educationally pragmatic and historically enlightening.
Hollywood Report Card
Ross Anthony
Escher seems to be perpetually amazed with the world and his own reaction to it. Graphic artists and animators bring Escher's work to life with yet another perspective. This is an inspired and inspiring work.
