Cast of Eames: The Architect & The Painter
Eames: The Architect & The Painter Reviews
A basically adulatory and very lively look at the documentary's subjects. The most gratifying thing about "Eames" is that it shows, in marvelous detail, how their work was an extension of themselves and how their distinct personalities melded into a unique and protean force. San Francisco Chronicle David Lewis
As fascinating - and at times oblique - as the famous couple themselves. Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
There couldn't be a better time to examine the complex and absorbing history of this designing couple, and "Eames: The Architect and the Painter" couldn't be a better vehicle for that examination. Much like the creations of its subjects, "Eames" is itself a dazzling, sensory adventure. Slant Magazine Joseph Jon Lanthier
The lack of intimate residue left behind creates cinematic problems that are exacerbated by the movie's general incompetence. Chicago Reader Andrea Gronvall
Filmmakers Jason Cohn and Bill Jersey deliver a nostalgic zing reminiscent of the TV drama Mad Men but tread lightly around Charles's mood swings and extramarital affairs. Village Voice Melissa Anderson
"I think their marriage was a mystery to everyone," an Eames worker notes-an observation true of every couple that you'll wish the filmmakers had explored more deeply. Jason Cohn and Bill Jersey's sprightly documentary weighs its subjects' unique accomplishments and widespread influence while probing a relationship more complex than its sunny public face indicated. Hollywood Reporter Sura Wood
A must for those with an interest in modern design... Easy Reader (California) Neely Swanson
Captivating, well edited, colorful, with an exciting story to tell, this is a film that should be seen by anyone who has ever sat on an Eames creation (or one of its knock-offs) and that would be everyone. Film School Rejects Landon Palmer
Eames: The Architect and The Painter traverses the fascinating life of a couple whose contributions broadly determined what modern postwar American life looked and felt like. Spirituality & Practice Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An enlightening documentary about a multi-talented married couple who have been called the most important American designers in the 20th century. Film Journal International Doris Toumarkine
Fascinating documentary about the iconic American design team and their studio that defined an enduring modernist look. A fascinating biopic as offbeat, engaging and readily-accessible as its endlessly-inventive subjects.
