David Lewis

San Francisco Chronicle

Most glaringly, the film does little in the way of providing important social and political context that informed Beuys' life journey.

Rated: 2/4

Robert Abele

Los Angeles Times

Plays like a fan's flip book divorced from meaningful resonance.

Simon Abrams

Village Voice

Veiel's refreshingly open-ended approach invites you to find your own answers.

Gisela Savdie

El Heraldo

Reinforced by his features, and his expressive eyes, Beuys could make a mockery of anything in front of him. [Full Review in Spanish]

Matthew Roe

Film Threat

Beuys is a sublime contemplation on the art and artist as a singular subject, achieved through a combination of technical experimentation and strong recurring motifs.

Rated: 4/5

Sherilyn Connelly

SF Weekly

With a few tweaks here and there, it could easily be taken for an entirely made-up documentary about a made-up person. It's not, but both his Beuys and Beuys hit many archetypal beats.
