Beuys Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Matt Fagerholm
In terms of provocation, Beuys could certainly provoke me into reading a book on its subject, a fine alternative to sitting through this evasive misfire again.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
Most glaringly, the film does little in the way of providing important social and political context that informed Beuys' life journey.
Film Threat
Matthew Roe
Beuys is a sublime contemplation on the art and artist as a singular subject, achieved through a combination of technical experimentation and strong recurring motifs.
Slant Magazine
Oleg Ivanov
The film's most egregious omission is its failure to seriously address Beuys voluntarily joining the Hitler Youth and serving with the Luftwaffe.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Plays like a fan's flip book divorced from meaningful resonance.
Village Voice
Simon Abrams
Veiel's refreshingly open-ended approach invites you to find your own answers.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Even if you don't need Beuys justified or explained to you, the movie is an exhilarating portrait of a unique truth-teller.
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
With a few tweaks here and there, it could easily be taken for an entirely made-up documentary about a made-up person. It's not, but both his Beuys and Beuys hit many archetypal beats.
Nonfics
Andrew Karpan
The movie will not appeal to most, but it's hard to imagine that Bueys's own work ever did either.
Film Journal International
David Noh
This at times diffuse doc offers some glowing revelations about this most influential of artists.
Counterpunch.org
Louis Proyect
Arguably the most politically engaged artist of the post-WWII period, Beuys is well-served by this documentary.
