Eva Hesse Ratings & Reviews
Arts Fuse
Peter Keough
Marcie Begleiter's stolid and engaging Eva Hesse provides an introduction to her meteoric life and career.
Hyperallergic
Benjamin Sutton
The documentary immerses us in Hesse's inner monologue, lending great emotional depth and complexity to someone who was both very sensitive and very thoughtful.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
See it for the girl but stay for the art.
Detroit News
Tom Long
"Eva Hesse" is a remarkable film about an even more remarkable artist, a woman who playfully and resolutely turned the world of sculpture inside out.
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
Aside from her laudable work ethos, Hesse never comes across as an interesting documentary subject.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Unique and satisfying ...
Chicago Reader
Dmitry Samarov
Marcie Begleiter directed this warm documentary about the short, extraordinary life of the title artist, who died at age 34 of a brain tumor.
Newcity
Ray Pride
Moving, incisive... chronicles the short life and decade-long career of the German-American sculptor and denizen of the 1960s art world with impressive command of both the scene Hesse found herself in, as well as the methods that led to [her] artwork.
Artforum
Amy Taubin
It's a measure of Begleiter's documentary skills and her commitment to Hesse's work and vivid presence that such scant materials have resulted in a portrait that is so lively, intelligent, and moving.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
A vibrant, affecting piece of filmmaking that's sure to widen Hesse's following.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Hesse's work has taken its place as a seminal part of 20th-century art, and this indispensable film will be shining a light on it, and her, for a long time to come.
BuzzFeed News
Alison Willmore
The film really comes into its own, reverberantly depicting how Hesse went from the side room and the supportive role to being the one who was in the spotlight, however briefly.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A superb documentary on a gifted and eccentric female artist who hit her high stride in the 1960s.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
It is odd to watch a documentary where the subject becomes more interesting when she is discussed by other people.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Marcie Begleiter's intimate documentary....serves as a valuable primer about [Hesse's] life and artistic legacy.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
Entertaining, informative and beautifully rendered documentary homage to the late-20th-century artist [Eva Hesse].
New York Times
A.O. Scott
It's like a comprehensive exhibition catalog or a thorough critical essay - an indispensable aid to understanding and appreciating a fascinating artist.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
Eva Hesse relies too heavily on ventriloquism to recapitulate the high and low points of the artist ...
Tablet
J. Hoberman
Hesse's interest was more a matter of process than product. Begleiter's movie picks up the next two sentences to give Hesse the poignant existential credo that serves as her last word. "Life doesn't last; art doesn't last. It doesn't matter."
