What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael Ratings & Reviews
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"What She Said" is a good movie, an engaging look at probably the most influential film critic of all time.
Nashville Scene
Erica Ciccarone
What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael attempts to shine a light on an extremely influential American film critic who withstood as many slings and arrows as she flung.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
Sit tight when the credits run and see just how many movies, great and not so great, she wrote about. The number, like Kael herself, is impressive.
WBUR’s Arts & Culture
Sean Burns
It's exactly the kind of stuffy hagiography Pauline probably would have hated.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Thankfully, "What She Said" is balanced on the subject of Kael's clout in the film and magazine industries, which could be as bruising as it was influential.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
What is missing from this undigested, too familiar information is a discerning, analytical assessment of Kael's guiding principles as opposed to descriptions of her often acerbic, caustic dismissal of any opinion but her own.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
What it lacks in gray area , it makes up with equal looks at the black and white.
Cambridge Day
Tom Meek
"What She Said" may not be the most tightly composed bio-doc, but it is a near must-see for cinephiles and fans of Kael's impressive career.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
presents a wide ranging overview of the influential critic - one just wishes it were a little more analytical itself.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"What She Said" pays fitting homage, not just to a great writer but to a vanished age.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Not only explores the special talent of Kael and what made her famous, but is also a snapshot of a volatile and exciting era of film history...

Leonard Maltin
Rob Garver's valuable documentary will serve as a primer for those who don't know about Kael and an evocative reminder of what she meant to those of us who grew up reading her. What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kaelis stimulating and informative
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
A numbing torrent of largely unidentified film clips and poorly labeled commentary, Rob Garver's overstuffed tribute to the life and work of America's best-known - and most written about - film critic is at times barely coherent.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
I liked this movie a whole lot... The thing about [Kael's] writing was that she wrote as she spoke.
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
The documentary is most insightful when it identifies Kael's influences, strengths and weaknesses.
TheWrap
James Greenberg
To see Rob Garver's affectionate documentary about Kael's career is to be once again swept away by the excitement of cinema as she experienced it.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Dealing with a personality this strong could not have been easy, and director Garver, whose background is in short films, does a balanced job, giving space to Kael's partisans while finding time for the other side.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
An exquisitely crafted documentary about the woman who was arguably the greatest movie critic who ever lived...
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Garver's film blossoms into something more comprehensive than complimentary, a film that doesn't balk at the trickier aspects of Kael's career, even as it never fully engages with the tensions that informed her.
The Hollywood Reporter
Todd McCarthy
A star critic gets the spotlight in an absorbing doc.
