2/4
Most glaringly, the film does little in the way of providing important social and political context that informed Beuys' life journey. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Feb 22, 2018
Plays like a fan's flip book divorced from meaningful resonance. Go to Full Review
Simon Abrams Village Voice Jan 17, 2018

4/5
