A workable documentary, but not of high interest value if you're not too familiar with his work.

a very beautiful documentary of how a photographer captures the soul of others while losing his own in the so-called celebrity world...

As much as I love Anton Cobijns photography, this documentary is terrible. Yes, it gives insights to the mans past and yes, it shows some of his creative process at work, but even with a cracking soundtrack by Gavin Friday and some of his past collaborations with Depeche Mode, U2 and Joy Division, it comes over rather slow and dull. The filmmaker Klaartje Quirijns tries to copy Corbijns style, but takes too long to explain or show the material that the audience is watching this for. A wasted opportunity.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

[It] takes a more impressionistic, intimate approach to the celebrated photographer and filmmaker, and in the process creates a thoughtful film that is as much an homage to the creative process as it is a tribute to a man.

Rated: B+

The Dissolve

Anton Corbijn Inside Out is damnably stingy with expert analysis of Corbijn's art...There's no attempt to organize the events of Corbijn's life into a chronology, or to trace his evolution as an image-maker.

Rated: 2.5/5

Screen International

An intriguing portrait of a photographer and filmmaker who is deeply immersed in the culture and iconography of stardom yet is himself an intensely private, emotionally reticent man...

Trebuchet

Inside Out attempts a look at who the man is, truly believing itself as presenting some insight. To a degree, yes, but the documentary is ultimately unfulfilling, choosing just one aspect of his personality to stretch to feature-length.

CineVue

What could have been a self-serving 'slap on the back' for an already hugely successful visual auteur turns out to be a surprisingly moving, delicately layered portrait of an artist as a middle-aged man.

Rated: 4/5
