Olympia Ratings & Reviews
Queerty
David Reddish
Its a grandand often very funnytribute to an early, ally voice for LGBTQ equality, and to a performer as talented as she is intriguing.
The Patriot Ledger
Al Alexander
It's an all too conventional look at a highly unconventional woman.
The Newnan Times-Herald
Jonathan W. Hickman
A must for fans of enduring actress Olympia Dukakis, Harry Mavromichalis' meandering but sincere and revealing documentary portrait gives viewers a peek behind the curtain.
jackiekcooper.com
Jackie K. Cooper
A scattered look at the life and times of a great actress. In many scenes it shows a determined but not necessarily likable person.
Next Best Picture
Nicole Ackman
While it isn't any sort of achievement in film-making, this documentary is a fitting tribute to a fantastic actress.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
The documentary Olympia is a lot like the Oscar-winning actress Olympia Dukakis herself -- opinionated, funny, candid, foul-mouthed, sometimes rambling, but never boring.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
Olympia proves the idea that you can point the camera at interesting people and an interesting film will likely result.
Newport This Week (RI)
Loren King
Olympia is a master class on the skill and work ethic of a legendary actor that also offers a delicious glimpse into her lively spirit, sharp wit and steel spine.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
Without a more probing look into her artistry, it's hard to think of "Olympia" as a definitive Dukakis profile - though it's certainly an unusual celebrity documentary.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
"Olympia" for all its fondness, is just too cursory a portrait of a complex woman: depth presented as a series of glinting surfaces.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
[Olympia Dukakis'] disarming candour and abundant energy drive the documentary.
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
It is a pleasure to spend time with Dukakis, who is always not just open to but hungry for revelation, growth, and connection, giving the documentary a deliciously buoyant quality.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Actors aren't always as interesting as their performances.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Andrea Simakis
Director Harry Mavromichalis, using extreme close-ups that caress the stunning, dramatic topography of [Dukakis'] face, eschews traditional narration and chases after the firebrand as she attends the unveiling of her star on the walk of fame.
The Film Experience
Glenn Dunks
Rough around the edges, scrappy and and yet still illuminating documentary about Oscar-winning actor Olympia Dukakis.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A compelling profile of a woman who's defiantly marched to the beat of her own drum.
Film Threat
Chuck Foster
This, folks, is why we respect our elders.
