Audience Member Methamphetamine & Harvard Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Straightforward and rather creepy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Yet another film that exposes Warhol for the fraud and master manipulator that he was. The last twenty minutes of this documentary is tediously long with too much filler in an attempt to extend it beyond an hour in length. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This recent documentary provides another glimpse at one of the Factory's peripheral players. The recent conversations with various associates (Maysles, Name, Berline, Cale, Paul Morrissey) and members of Williams' family are of some interest, but the highlights are the clips of Danny Williams' own films. In contrast to Warhol's own fascination with long takes and tedium, Danny uses blistering strobe-like editing. The effect is akin to what he must have been doing when lighting shows for the VU. Despite my mixed reaction to the documentary itself, it's worth seeing if you have an interest in the subject or if you want to see some striking experimental short films. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member muddled documentary made by danny williams niece as she attempts to uncover her uncle's past at the warhol factory and the reason for his strange disapperance thru interviews with ex factory devotees. sits uncomfertably between a mystery doco and an expose of factory life, would have done better to choose one or the other. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Mike M Poorly structured as mystery, hamstrung by the elusiveness of Factory life, the reluctance to provide anyone with any point or meaning; Robinson isn't the first director to be suckered into casting about for answers that were perhaps never there to begin with, and her blurry DV imagery becomes resistible very quickly. Where "A Walk in the Sea" intrigues is in reconvening key players (Morrissey, Malanga, Ron Nameth) to explore how the Factory was more than just about Andy... At its best, Robinson's film serves a similar purpose to her uncle's beloved strobe effects, revealing both the light and the dark of the Factory.
