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.

I felt a strong connection to the director's desire to bond with her ancestors through art.

Rated: 3/4

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.

Chasing Portraits is less about the value of the art but the story behind it.

Rated: 4/5

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.

Rated: 7/10
