Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
In place of evenhandedness, the film gives us a full sense of a personality and intelligence so riveting that we begin to comprehend why all those hundreds of thousands lined up at the MoMA.
Boston Globe
Sebastian Smee
"She's never not performing," says one friend. And the documentary, "Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present," confirms it.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
The second half offers shot after shot of the people who sat opposite Abramovi - an unexpectedly enthralling record of reactions that range from stark agony to rather phony amusement.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The film's centerpiece is the retrospective devoted to Abramovic at the Museum of Modern Art in the spring of 2010.
AV Club
Noel Murray
The Artist Is Present does at least seem to capture moments where Abramovic seems genuine...
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
We're given an intimate seat to this wildly democratic - and creepily messianic - spectacle.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A portrait of an artist whose life and work intertwine in ways even more compelling than might be imagined.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
When director Matthew Akers is able to make Abramovic's titular 2010 MoMA exhibition - featuring anonymous, silent, face-to-face sit-downs - undeniably moving, something is obviously working.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Briskly edited and brightly shot.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Ms. Abramovic is an eloquent and passionate explicator of her art and the experiences that informed it.
Village Voice
Chris Packham
She's trying to access a shared humanity, to foster an unusual intimacy with viewers-to strip herself, often literally, to a naked and undeniable truth.
Variety
Robert Koehler
An intelligent overview that makes a radical artist's work comprehensible to audiences with no previous awareness of her or her chosen path.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
Although appealing to narrow slice of art aficionados, "Abramovic' carries a deeper message, and a warning, to an increasing mechanized and medicated world
indieWire
Eric Kohn
...a competent exploration of Abramovic's methods that's also disappointing for the same reason.
Slant Magazine
Kenji Fujishima
As entertaining as the doc is, it never really measures up to the fascination and sheer force of personality of its subject.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
Like any good documentary, ""The Artist Is Present" gives insight into the life and work of a truly talented lady. Her works may not be for all tastes she but obviously has an audience if MoMA is any indication.
Boston Phoenix
Peter Keough
It demonstrates how cinema can actually make the artist seem present, offering an empathetic fellow consciousness that mirrors one's soul.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Challenging art is made accessible in doc about performance-art sensation Marina Abramović.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
...for the 2 1/2 month run of the [MoMA] show, Marina would sit completely still in a chair as visitors cued up to sit across from her and look into her eyes. The effect is incredibly and unexpectedly moving.
