1/4

Overstuffed with biographical details and taking-head interviews with friends and hangers-on, it's over-didactic and dull.

"Eva Hesse" is a remarkable film about an even more remarkable artist, a woman who playfully and resolutely turned the world of sculpture inside out.

Amazing doc for so many reasons. A picture of commitment as an artist--exploration, development, ambition, resilience. This is a doc for every artist who wants to understand how,why,who,what,where--what art asks of you. Beautifully written and edited, wise choices were made throughout. Great to see so may interviewed and what they thought about Eva. I could go on and on and on....
