New York City artist Ellie Shine - single and middle-aged - is looking to gain inspiration and tranquility as she house-sits for a friend who lives in upstate New York. Accompanied by her lovable, handicapped dog, she turns the adjoining barn into her new workplace, staging elaborate re-creations of classic movie scenes, ranging from "Some Like It Hot" to "A Clockwork Orange." Business evolves into possible pleasure when Ellie invites three local men to participate in her artistic endeavors.

An amusing riff on the way one's creative work bleeds into one's personal life... Simmons expresses a singular voice and style.

[A] provocative feature directorial debut.

Short, sour-sweet and content to leave ideas and characters trailing in the summer breeze, "My Art" has evidently been made strictly on Simmons' terms, however wafty those may be.

Shine's collaborators are more like playthings than serious romantic interests, and it's fun to watch them fall under the artist's spell and take her orders.

1/5

In every scene it's clear which feeling Simmons is trying to evoke, so it's all the more frustrating that she fails in every attempt.

3.5/5

With a casual pace and some particularly poignant and funny moments, My Art is a quiet enjoyment.

Great concept! Alas, Simmons was so stilted and boring that it took all the work on the part of the other actors just to keep the piece afloat.
