Picasso and Braque Go to the Movies Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
For those with a scholarly outlook towards film or art it's worth checking out, while others will probably not get much out of it.
Movie Metropolis
Christopher Long
There was once a time when the nascent medium of cinema struggled for legitimacy.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The film asserts much (with timelines and datelines and lots of footage) but fails to completely persuade. As a dissertation, it would have a terrible time defending itself.
Boston Phoenix
Gerald Peary
There's no proof anywhere of this film's key premise -- that cinema was the catalyst for these artists' pre-World War I forays into Cubism.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
A marvelous documentary by art gallery legend and sometime filmmaker Arne Glimcher.
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
The subject matter is without a doubt intriguing, but a more poetic and emotionally charged approach to the material at hand, beyond that exquisite silent footage, would have enhanced the presentation.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
An informative, well-edited and engaging documentary that needs a more thorough and provocative conclusion.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Much of the documentary is a jumble of people extemporizing about this and that, but there is no connective overview.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The giveaway comes when one nabob of portraiture -- who is trying to tie Picasso and Braque to an early film about an accordion -- says the influence of the picture was absorbed by the painters "whether or not they saw this film." If you say so.
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
An intriguing, captivating glimpse into the creative process.
NYC Film Critic
Ethan Alter
One of the strengths of Arne Glimcher's documentary is that it effectively chronicles an era when going to the movies was a novelty.
Slant Magazine
Joseph Jon Lanthier
As a rambling rumination on turn-of-the-century aestheticism with brazen flourishes of apophenia, the documentary is strangely effective, but we're left aching for more specific piece-by-piece analysis.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
Picasso and Braque's primary merit is its archive-raiding evocation of the period discussed through vintage nitrate images...
New York Press
Armond White
The Picasso-Braque connection shows the unembarrassed impulse to study vision and philosophy through art -- not trite, childish, "Lookit!" exploitation.
