Ronnie Scheib Variety This curiously intimate documentary about artist Altina Schinasi, as told through her myriad marriages, engrosses in its own fittingly slapdash way. Sep 22, 2014 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times An absorbing look at wealth, privilege, creativity and progressive thinking. Sep 18, 2014 Full Review Anita Gates New York Times To Ms. Schinasi's credit, two of her husbands break down in tears on camera while talking about her, and the other two are dead. Sep 11, 2014 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews Altina Schinasi was like Peggy Guggenheim-a member of the Jewish haut bourgeoisie who opted for a bohemian life in the arts. Jewish cultural history of a key but neglected figure. Sep 13, 2014 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International It was an amazing life, but surprisingly, it does not register excitingly on film. The approach is uninspired and prosaic, too much the work of a dutiful family member than intensely probing and revelatory. Sep 12, 2014 Full Review Kam Williams Baret News A frustrating tease of a tribute that seems to merely scratch the surface of an overprotected child of privilege-turned-irrepressible bon vivant. Rated: 3/4 Sep 9, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
