The Woodmans Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Film Blog
Kathy Fennessy
Francesa Woodman died believing she was unique, and she was.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
This intimate film is a fascinating glimpse into the emotions and art of a New York family whose bright star committed suicide 30 years ago at age 22.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
It's impossible to listen to Francesca's parents, deadly serious about art as a higher calling, without feeling both saddened and disturbed.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
The Woodmans tells the compelling, if slightly disturbing, story of a family coming to grips with love, ego, resentment and loss.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Willis provides no easy answers and points no fingers, but the search proves fascinating.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Woodman's black-and-white photographs, many of them self-portraits, convey a haunting sense of isolation; of something forever lost from the empty, almost decaying rooms in which she drapes herself.
New York Press
Armond White
Willis' careful balancing act between portraying a unique family unit and the peculiarities of genius winds up making The Woodmans disturbing in an unexpected way.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
The Woodmans isn't out to demonize Francesca's upbringing or to play the blame game for her untimely death.
Boxoffice Magazine
Vadim Rizov
A journeyman-like investigation into the life and legacy of photographer Francesca Woodman, C. Scott Willis' The Woodmans is a conventional talking-heads-and-clips documentary.
Filmcritic.com
Chris Cabin
a movie that burrows into questions about how our talents are molded, how artistic promise can lead to crippling loneliness, and the burden of great expectations.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Willis works to turn The Woodmans into an existential mystery, through a soundtrack full of moody vibes, interviews shot in tight close-ups, and the floating words from Francesca's diaries that Willis inserts as a kind of answer from beyond the grave.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
An indelible group portrait of a family of artists.
About.com
Marcy Dermansky
Though compelling, it is a complicated and difficult experience to watch The Woodmans.
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
Unsettling, evocative tale of an artistic yet dysfunctional family.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
If its message can be boiled down to one sentence, it is George's stoic observation: "There is a psychic risk in being an artist."
IFC.com
Matt Singer
A thought-provoking look at one troubled family of artists and their need to express themselves.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
A haunting study in family dynamics.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
This intriguing docu, winner at the 2010 Tribeca Film Fest, offers a poignant look at the haunting art of Francesca Woodman by placing her life and work in the broader contexts of her family (her parents are artists) and NY art world.
