Jason Adams The Film Experience Jul 2, 2021
Focusing in on one single important piece like this is a bit of a master-stroke - it allows us to survey the scene of the 1960s art-world in miniature Go to Full Review
Benjamin Sutton Hyperallergic Feb 7, 2020
It feels slightly superficial, not delving especially deeply into any of its subjects and presenting a version of the (art) world scrubbed clean as if with a Brillo soap pad. Go to Full Review
Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Oct 22, 2018
With dozens of interview subjects whose perspective doesn't only add historical context but their mere presence alludes to the film's key theme that no one sees the value of the Warhol's creation in exactly the same way. Go to Full Review

Brillo Box (3 Cents Off) may have needed an iconic Warhol artwork to receive attention, but the film's narrative journey would have remained compelling even if it had focused on lesser known artists. Go to Full Review

A documentary memoir about the journey of one of Andy Warhol's pop art creations. Go to Full Review
Andrew Karpan Nonfics (Substack) Aug 6, 2017
The movie becomes an extended reflection on the work ... in order to distill what exactly is at the root of the work's, and Warhol's, appeal. Go to Full Review

Draco W Sep 6, 2017 this was truly a great little documentary combining a famous piece of pop art history and a personal story about the director's family. highly recommended! See more
Leia P Sep 1, 2017 Nothing much going on here but it was fine. The art world is a funny place. There is a family diary dynamic which I'm sure is interesting to people in that family but I don't see much that would be compelling to anyone else. But it was an inoffensive way to spend 40 minutes. 5.2 out of 10 See more
