Julian Schnabel: A Private Portrait's reviews
Media reviews
Roger Ebert
Directed by Pappi Corsicato and executive produced, typically, by the subject himself, the movie is never uninteresting but is often surprisingly low-energy and, even more surprisingly, visually drab.
Los Angeles Times
Rather than explore his place in the arts and balance all that adoration with insight, Corsicato opts for hero worship. The result is a visually exciting but emotionally monotonous film.
The Playlist
"A mostly seductive and immersive experience, but the lack of context tends to spoil the entertainment."
New York Times
No commercials are shown during Julian Schnabel: A Private Portrait. They would only be redundant. Instead this documentary serves as a feature-length advertisement for the artist, and is about as daring as a billboard for skim milk.
