Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Still [Rynecki] effectively captures a raft of emotional beats, especially those involving her kindly, Holocaust-survivor dad, who prefers to keep his dark childhood at arm's length. May 16, 2019 Full Review Odie Henderson RogerEbert.com I felt a strong connection to the director's desire to bond with her ancestors through art. Rated: 3/4 Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Too often coming across as an elaborate home movie, Chasing Portraits would have benefited from its story being told by a more experienced filmmaker who was less emotionally involved in the proceedings. Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Chasing Portraits is less about the value of the art but the story behind it. Rated: 4/5 Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Dylan Brennan Nonfics With its compelling tale of a family's trauma and recovery, Elizabeth's story is captivating throughout every stage of her journey. Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest More about her feelings...audience viscerally shares her whirligig of emotions during her search; she's especially sensitive in not pushing her father on difficult memories.
